I've always considered it obvious that arts (and humanities, for that matter) education ought to be included with science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) but I guess in these days of (supposedly) utilitarian learning it's not so obvious. It seems to me that skills such as perspective and pattern recognition - ways, in other words, of seeing the world - require these (supposedly) soft disciplines. It's one thing to, say, use mathematics to represent a pettern, but if you can't see the pattern to begin with then the mathematics is a bit empty.
