Arts and crafts comprise a whole host of activities and hobbies that are related to making things with one's own hands and skills. These can be subdivided into handicrafts or "traditional crafts" (doing things the old way) and the rest. Craft is the designing and making of individual artifacts and objects, encouraging the development of intellectual, creative, and practical skills, visual sensitivity, and a working knowledge of tools, materials, and systems. Art and craft activities give kids a sense of achievement and allow them to take pride in their work which builds confidence. Making art is a great, safe way to discover that it's okay to make mistakes and that getting things 'wrong' can lead you to a whole new idea. Art is the expression of ideas and emotions through a physical medium, like painting, sculpture, film, dance, writing, photography, or theatre. If you love the creative process, maybe you'll devote your life to art.
