people have preconceived ideas about the arts, however it's not

in Blast.
It
doesn't matter whether you're into ballet or breakdancing, classical
music or DJing, cubism or graffiti - they are all forms of art!

project will give you an opportunity to write about the arts in
the Gloucester area, learn more about the media and expand your
writing and reporting skills.
This

get worthwhile skills, especially if you're thinking of applying
to university or a future job in journalism.
