Art - when it is really doing what it should do - teaches abstract thinking; it teaches teamwork; it teaches people to actually think about things that they cannot see.
The importance of repetition until automaticity cannot be overstated. Repetition is the key to learning.
Repetition is not repetition, ... The same action makes you feel something completely different by the end
