  Hobbies are great ways to spend your time. Some hobbies can even change the way you see the world. Let’s take painting as an example.

Think for a moment about what colour clouds are. Did you think white? Take a closer look at them next time. Clouds are mostly white,but also include black,grey,yellow,pink and even blue. It depends on so many factors like what time of day are you looking at them,the type of clouds or the angle (角度) you’re looking at them. In the sunset,you’ll see many colours in clouds you won’t see mid-afternoon.

Painting is also a great way to notice shapes. One of the easiest ways to paint faces or objects is to break them down into their relative shapes and combine them together. Everything in the world can be broken down into things like circles,squares and triangles. It’s like putting pieces of a puzzle together as you’re creating your painting.

If you take up painting,you’ll see more colours and shapes in the world. You’ll notice subtle influences (细微的影响) of colours in everything and will be able to break anything down into their relative shapes. So everything is more beautiful than ever.
