Hobby

Hobbies today include many activities. The definition that best covers all these activities is probably constructive leisure-time activities. A hobby is an activity apart from the ordinary routines of life. It encourages the use of creativity and imagination.

Some popular hobbies are as old as civilization. These include such activities as music, dance, literature, painting, sculpture, raising pets, astrology, and the making of pottery, baskets, beadwork, kites, toys, leather goods, dolls, jewelry, and miniatures or models.

Hobbies are either consciously chosen, or they arise from an individual's interests, skills, daily work, tastes, ambitions. Stamp or coin collecting are examples of hobbies based on deliberate choice. Making model airplanes can be something to do for a pastime, or it might develop as a result of service in an air force or as an airline pilot. Designing computer programs is a hobby based on work experience or schooling.

All hobbies involve activity, but some involve more than others. Collecting is relatively passive compared to doing one's own paintings or making furniture.

The art hobbies are painting, sculpture, music, and literature. They may be the most challenging areas for hobbyists to work in, and perhaps for this reason they are less popular than nature, historical, or handicraft hobbies.

Hobbyists make of music both a pastime and sometimes a second vocation. They may learn to play a musical instrument for pleasure, but there are many opportunities for people with talent to participate in music concerts, community orchestras, or other groups. Singers join choral organizations or form duets, quartets, or other small groups for public performances. Some popular rock music groups got their start by playing together in high school as a hobby. Some hobbyists collect musical instruments or recordings.

Nature hobbies are mainly of two types: activities, such as gardening or bird-watching, and collecting. A nature hobby can also be combined with another interest such as photography.

For handicraft hobbies there are kits available in hobby shops or craft centers. There are kits for painting by numbers, for making mosaics, and for crafts using plastics, leather, textiles, metal, clay, beads and sequins, ribbon, wool, and laces.

Many hobbies (these are mechanical and electronic hobbies) use the equipment, computers, for example. For those who like photography, there are camera shops, books, magazines, newspaper columns, and exhibitions of photographs. Some hobbyists work only in black and white, while others insist on color. Nowadays people also like making films by themselves using cameras.
