Hobbies for Students: Art

Starting with Art activities from a young age, is very helpful to kids and really helps in developing their mind to become more creative. Learning art, and its different forms gives kids a valuable use of their time and it is much better than surfing the net or playing video games. It is an activity which strengthens coordination and helps develop skills which could be used later on as a career. There are several advantages for kids to learn art, some of these are:



1) Creativity: One does not simply copy art or know it, art is something which has to do with the imagination and is therefore enables kids to create something which does not exist. It makes kids more creative in their thinking and coming with innovative and different works which stand out, will also come with time and practice. 

2) Strengthens your Mind: Art enhances your focusing abilities and is also vital for hand-eye coordination and  strategic thinking. 

3) Visual Learners: Almost 1 in 2 children are visual learners, therefore if they have the ability to sketch and produce, they can even convert boring text material into fascinating images. This could really help in the future for higher studies which are complex in nature. 



4) Intelligence: Studies have shown that kids who take up art, are more likely to do better in Math and Science in the future. So, even if you want to become an engineer or a doctor, it would be much more beneficial to have taken up art as a hobby. 

5) Future Prospects: The Art industry is huge, and though it may be difficult to get into, it is an amazing and very fascinating field to work in. 

These are just a few reasons why Art makes for such a great hobby for kids, for more on careers in art, come back tomorrow!
