Precisely how I feel. Art is an important craft that has many technical aspects, but it is a totally separate field from STEM. There is a very good way to put this.

STEM is objective, art is subjective.

Shoehorning art into STEM essentially turns STEAM into a banner which covers practically all subjects.
