Something Missing From The Curriculum?

Y'know, it just occurred to me...

One thing Hogwart's does NOT teach is the Arts --I don't mean the 
Magickal arts, I mean "The Arts," as in painting, music, drama, etc.  
Isn't this something of an oversight?  

Even if we ignore that in most societies and cultures where some 
variant of Magickal  
(or "occult"/"spiritualist"/"mystical"/"alternative"/"take-your-
pick") practice is taken seriously, music and other arts are almost 
always a vital component of it (imagine a Native American shaman 
without drums or dance!) -- it's obvious that someone in the Wizard 
World paints portraits, at the very least.  Ghosts make music, as do 
the Weird Sisters (who, granted, might have learned by whanging away 
in a dungeon, just like their Muggle garage-band counterparts.)

Nonetheless, there is an aesthetic component to Wizard culture that 
is very important. Why isn't it taught in school?
