Not Into Drawing and Painting? Here Are 6 More Ways to Feel Artistic on World Art Day
Today is World Art Day.
Art in the United States, specifically, has been severely and increasingly defunded. If anything, it is more important than ever to showcase the importance of artistry. It's therapeutic, it's fun and it brings color (literally and figuratively) to our world.
Don't have too much skill in drawing and painting? That's okay. There are still other ways to feel like a true artist. Below, discover six other creative activities you can consider on World Art Day and beyond.
Singing
We're jealous of anyone who is a skilled singer. Truly, there is nothing more impressive than listening to someone who sounds like a human songbird. When you know all the basics, you can experiment with singing even more. At your next karaoke session, consider trying new runs and riffs or searching for new harmonies in your favorite song.

Dancing
Moving your body is its own art form, and you don't have to be a contortionist to complete an impressive routine. On World Art Day, learn your favorite K-pop choreography or try out a new TikTok dance trend. Plus, it's also a great way to relieve stress and tension—now, dance like no one is watching.

Crocheting
Are you good with your hands? You might need to take up crocheting (or sewing and knitting). You will need steady, nimble fingers to make these complex knots, but once you master the skill, you'll be able to create clothing, toys, blankets and more. And who wouldn't appreciate a homemade gift like that?

Creative Writing
We won't be surprised to see a boom in writing over the next few years. Becoming an author gives you the flexibility to live anywhere in the world by simply bringing the machinations of your mind onto paper. After all, we've all had those moments where we struggled to find the book of our dreams. Instead, you can make it happen.
Sports
Sports is often thought of as logical, physical activity, but really, it's also an art form. No two basketball players have the same way of dribbling. One figure skater may strive for power, while the other seeks grace. Finding your personal style within your sport is unarguably a way to channel your inner artist.

PowerPoints!
Okay, so maybe you don't have the dexterity or creativity for any of the other hobbies we listed. There is one thing that anyone can do, and that's make a PowerPoint presentation. Graphic design is super fun without requiring any mess or distress. For extra fun, you and your friends can have a get-together where everyone makes one slideshow about something they are knowledgeable about.
