Why Art?

In gap year, many students choose to enrich themselves in various ways, and art can be used as a form of life. Creating art relieves stress, encourages creative thinking, increases brain plasticity, and imparts other mental health benefits. And anyone can do art. There are a lot of misconceptions floating around about art. Some think you have to be creating paintings or sculptures to be considered a real artist. Others believe that you are either born with talent — or not. Many who don’t consider themselves to be artistic feel that there is no point in creating art since they won’t be satisfied with the results. But we are all born with an innate desire to express ourselves and art encompasses a wider range of activities than you might imagine.
