Why is it important to teach it, though? All I hear is THAT it's important, but not WHY. Only a precious few people will ever use any of their art education. No one I know has learned anything in any of their arty-type classes except people who are or were in college studying art.

Not exactly what you are asking for but it should give you more or less an idea of why art is important.
