By “unconventional” I mean something other than classical visual or audio arts like painting, sculpture, music, etc.

I’ve never been a very “artistic” person. But when I took my first programming class, I worked on my code like it was a sculpture. I found beauty in making my code clean, efficient, easy to read, and user-friendly. It still seems weird and affectatious to say, and I wasn’t really expecting that kind of experience from that class! It was one of the only times I ever felt “artistic.”

But why not? Any medium can be artful.

What’s your non-traditional art?

    I like drawing on chalkboards and have been doing it for an ice cream shop for a while now. It’s kind of conventional but the medium isn’t so I often find little resources on how to do it when I have to get inventive because they like me drawing their food.
