03 Brief 4

Article heading: Why should teenagers take up art as a hobby?

 I would prefer to do brief 4, so the website homepage. For the hobby, I would choose art as it is something that I enjoy. The pretend articles would be about different hobbies, such as dance, singing and baking. 

I would split the page into four; one section about the benefits of art, one section about the history of art and two sections about drawing/sketching and then painting. 

For the first section, I would discuss how art helps develop concentration which for teenagers, is important. It can also be used to de-stress, so when teens study for exams they can benefit from doing art. Art also helps with hand-eye co-ordination and helps to increase patience which is a life skill. I would then include an original picture of a notebook and pen to represent revision.

For the second section, I would write about how art is loved all around the world and how it used used differently in different cultures. I would then move on to talk about how art has evolved over time and how it is constantly changing. I would then include a found picture of art from a different culture, perhaps an Italian painting.

For the last two sections, I would discuss sketching and painting. Sketching is very simple to do and specifically increases your ability to focus. While painting is enjoyable and a way to express yourself, it has its own benefits. It can increase your problem-solving skills, expand creative growth and even stimulates an optimistic attitude. That last point is especially important for teenagers, as mental health is a struggle for 10-20% of teenagers globally. I would include two original pictures of the start of a sketch and then a picture of paintbrushes and a paint palette.
