I can't help it, I am one of those academic types.
Ellen Dissanayake explored this topic in several of her books:
What is Art for?
Homo Aestheticus: Where Art Comes from and Why
Art and Intimacy: How the Arts Began
She has been a guest speaker at NCECA as well as other national events.
I think reading these books would substantiate arguments that art is
needed by humans.
Also the need to create is necessary by humans.
If you are really interested in this topic, these are excellent
resources for a definite viewpoint.
