Arts and Crafts

07/19/15

A fun activity to do more often is arts and crafts. I love when I have some free time to do a quick project. Drawing and painting are my go-to activities when I have no worries in the world, like going to work or doing my homework. I wish arts and crafts was just as mandatory in school as math. I mean, it is essential to keep the creative juices flowing in that noggin we all have. Then again, if arts and crafts was mandatory in school, I bet all the fun would be sucked out of it. (Hmm… makes me wonder if maybe math used to actually be a fun activity for people, but since it became mandatory and intensive, all the fun was sucked out of it.) Back to the arts and crafts subject, I do believe people should try to develop their artistic skills more often. It is even therapeutic to just draw whatever comes to mind or just splash some color on a canvass here and there. Often I hear how people do not believe that they have a creative bone in their body. The reason I think is because they do not exercise their creative muscle. Just think, if one wishes to have strong arms, you do push-ups. If one wishes to be a math genius, you challenge yourself with tough math problems and solve them. If one wishes to be the next top chef, one cooks meal after meal until they have acquired their natural skills. Same goes with being creative, how can someone gain this ability? By doing arts and crafts! One could even be a musical artist, write, or any other thing that requires some creative sense. I encourage all of you to relinquish your creative juices and you will notice a spark lite up in yourself.
