They are in the news, they are on billboards, they influence various Hollywood movies, and they are basically all around us. Video games are made to entertain, to educate, and to now live active lifestyles, but over the course of only sixty years, the video game industry has changed drastically. New electronic breakthroughs are made every year, new games are created every six months, and online gaming changes daily.

Creativity While there is a plethora of great fine art activities, I am going to lump it all into two categories: music and art. Let's first talk about the benefits that these two areas have in common. Both music and art use the creative brain. Musicians use creativity to represent thoughts or feelings.

We don't need to limit creativity to instruments and painting though. There are loads of way artists can show their creativity. Think about beat boxers, composers, singers, photographers, potters, wood carvers, and people who sew, crochet, or knit. Creativity is a huge part of the process for all of these creators...
