There is an art of reading, as well as an art of thinking, and an art of writing.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There is creative reading as well as creative writing.
The art of writing is the art of discovering what you believe.
Reading is an art form, and every man can be an artist.
Reading is a majority skill but a minority art. Yet nothing can replace the exact, complicated, subtle communion between absent author and entranced, present reader.
We recommend for the training of teachers not only a considerable artistic education in general but special attention to the art of reading.
The thing about good writing is it has a music to it.
Art, whatever form it takes, requires hard work, craftsmanship and creativity. As a writer, I know my grammar, cadence, the music of prose, and the art of the narrative.
Art comes from a visceral need and is usually generated by something I have seen; writing comes from something that happens in my head and my heart.
The value of writing about art is its effect on the imagination. Paintings allow us to inhabit another culture, place, and time period, and address the issues of those time periods that resonate with our own time.
Writing is my job. I don't think of it as art.
