Art and creativity are like these hidden gems in our lives, helping us voice our emotions and thoughts in so many imaginative ways. If you look at the spectrum of art, you have visual arts – like painting, sketching, sculpting – and performing arts, such as dance, theatre, and music. And creativity? It’s this unique ability to generate original, out-of-the-box ideas using our imagination and inventiveness. I think it’s important to remember that everyone has creativity within them; it just shows up in different ways. And guess what? We can improve it with regular practice! Now, art can be a hobby, something fun, or it can even be your career – think illustrators, writers, filmmakers, and so much more. The blend of art and creativity in our lives, it really boosts our self-expression, encourages us to understand different cultures, and positively affects our mental health.
