Art Activities

Art based extracurricular activities are a great means of achieving that happy medium. This is mainly because it allows you to embrace creativity in an environment that nurtures and rewards it. Examples of this include things such as painting, writing, and even theater. These activities are needed because they develop the self in ways only possible through the various artistic mediums that are out there. If you're into drawing for example, you can learn techniques and skills from those who have already learned them to help condense the process and make it more streamlined. If you prefer immersing yourself into unique worlds then writing can help you create the ones you want to visit. If you want to showcase your personality through various forms of drama, then theater can help bolster that.
