Artistic work encourages you to accept more ideas, question more assumptions, and look at things differently. Learning art helps you exercise your brain, which makes it work better. Taking art classes brings out other aspects of your personality that weren’t there before. Learning artistic skills boosts your confidence by showing you the progress you can make with regular practice and determination. By creating artwork, or having an arts education, you can express yourself in the medium of your choice (photography, sculpture, graphic design, etc.) and let others know what you’re thinking without using words.
