Art classes can be much more than a fun way to spend the afternoon instead of idling / shopping / surfing the internet. Attending even one lesson can benefit you in one or more of three crucial ways: professionally, scholastically, and personally.
PROFESSIONALLY
You might not realize that art could benefit you in your non-artistic career, but taking classes will open you up to a new skillset that you’d never thought to develop before.
>> Art classes will help you develop creative problem-solving skills, which are essential in addressing challenges in any career — even ones not related to art. Being able to approach situations with creative skills will give you an edge over your competitors in the job market.
>> Taking an art class will open up your observational skills of culture, design, and everyday living, making you more perceptive to people, places, and things around you. Many of your coworkers will likely notice a change in your approach to work projects after you take an art class.
SCHOLASTICALLY
Many people say that students who take art classes tend to do better academically. Whether you’re a student, yourself, or if you have a child enrolled, it’s important to supplement education with art and all the new knowledge and insight it offers. it helps with character development too.
>> Art improves grades in other subjects in school. If a student might not enjoy a history class, for example, and struggle with the tasks given to them by their history teacher, try applying the same skills learned in art classes to the history class. This could include critical reading about some of their favorite paintings, research into their favorite artists, and writing papers about their favorite artistic techniques.
>> Art classes could reveal hidden talents. Students who had never considered artistic fields before, including interior decorating and web design, could have those career doors opened to them in the future.
>> Taking an art class might help young students come out of their shells and meet new friends who share positive similar interests.
PERSONALLY
Life can become hectic sometimes, so it’s important to make time for hobbies that help you relax and appreciate the world around you. If you’ve been too busy to enjoy a hobby, try fitting art into your schedule — you won’t be sorry.
>> Creating art while taking a class is a great way to relax. Feel the stress of your job, chores, and errands drop away the moment you move a paintbrush across a canvas, or a pencil across a pad of paper. Forget your demanding schedule and slow down while making an artwork that is pleasing to you.
>> Art classes are a safe environment in which to express your feelings and emotions. Doing so successfully through the pieces you complete will help you express yourself in non-artistic situations, as well.
>> Enhance your self-confidence by seeing the artwork you begin in classes through to completion. Many people in office jobs don’t often get the pleasure of completing hands-on tasks like paintings or drawings.
