| Writing Is Really An Art Form |
| I think, as a wordsmith/writer myself, we qualify as artists. We use our creative capacity for words, not sculptures and paintings. We put just as much work (those of us that try, at least.) into a story or poem as a painter or sculptor puts into their piece. Sure, it may not be "Hey, lets frame up this picture/painting and sell it!" or "Lets sell this statue!" like it is with picture/paintings and sculptures...So does it qualify as art? |

I used to think writing was just writing, but now I realize it's much more than that. I would say
that writing isn't so much an art form as it is a skill, something you must work hard at to be
better at. You have to think of characters, plot, setting, symbolism, irony, tone...just a whole
bunch of stuff. I also think you won't be much good at it unless you practice a lot. |

Writing is an art form. I say this as a writer myself |
| |
|

It certainly can be. Writing itself is a skill, but then so is painting or sculpting, but through
the creative process it may be elevated to an art form, like nearly any other skill. As for whether
any particular example qualifies; it is as they say in the eyes of the beholder. |

I cannot agree more, and the more thou practices the better one becomes. |

SO TOTALLY.
Yes.
Writers, are the best and last line of defense in the battle of the human race against tyranny,
oppression, and prejudice, as well as simple Ignorance.
To quote that great writer, Mark Twain (Samuel L. Clemens):
"The pen, is mightier than the sword".
Amen.
"I hail thee, Quill: And let the bodies of Hate, and Ignorance, be by thy craft vanquished!" |

I agree that it is an art form. I would even go so far as to say it is one of the highest art
forms.
Sure, anyone can throw paint on a cavas and it's art, but it takes great skill to write something
great that people will enjoy. |

Writing is definitely a form of art, because you are expressing your thoughts and feelings onto a
page (or whatever you are writing on). |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I agree. It really takes a special gift to be able to write clearly and concisely. |
| |
|
| |
|

|
Writing is an art form. |
| |
|
| |

I do believe that writing is an art form. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
In truth writing is painting a picture which words and is as good as any work of art. |
| |
|

I would say it qualifies as an art form, but what "art" is is debated. But yes, a good poem or story
evokes as much emotion and thought as Klimpt or Michael Angelo. I've tried writing a few things and
find I lack the discipline at the moment, and like art it requires immense attention and a
sufficient part of the creator to be successful. Writing is definitely an art form. |

In writing, you have to paint a word-picture for the reader.
In writing, your canvass is the paper, and your paint is your words.
It is most definitely an art.

Yes writing is an art and i can't think of anything else. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Yes it's another way to express yourself. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|

I am an Art dealer (paintings) and Art encompasses all. Art is merely an expression of some sort
and writing is an expression therefor is a form of Art. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Quite true. My pen is my paint brush. |

Why do people make debate titles or statements that are not always answered with a "for" or
"against." Not all writing is art but much of it is. I think there are people who write something
because they have to (like in school) and do not care about what they are writing, and put words
together in an unartistic way and turn it in. Such writing I do not consider art. But the putting of
words together in other cases is art. It has to be artistic to a certain degree, I think, to qualify
as art. Is a list of groceries to buy artistic? Probably not. |

Art can be in any form, even writing. With writing you can let your mind go anywhere u want. U paint
pictures inside your head. Paintings were inspired by something, probably something a person has
read or has seen. Writing can be portrayed in acting, as well as operas or poetry. Writing allows
you to express your self and it constitutes your personality. Writing is most definitely art,
weather you accept it or not. |
| |

Writers express their art in word form. There is no limitations as to what art can be. We see art
everyday around us, and most of that is writing. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Writing is a art work it helps you express what you really feel inside. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Just because writers don't use paint or crayon, doesn't mean we don't express art. Writers express
their art by their words. Words are power. I would know this because I am an author. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |

Of course writing is an art! As a writer myself, I believe that it is one of the finest. The ability
to articulate one's words so that they form together and create a fantastic story or convincing
argument is quite a talent.
Also, take into consideration caligraphy - writing that is penned artistically. Islamic law dictates
that portraits are not to be painted of people, because only Allah can create. Instead, they make
masterful works of Arabic caligraphy in the shape of people and other scenes. Even the words
composing the scene are beautiful; it is often poetry or words of the Quran.
Also, if rhetoric can be an art, then so can writing. |

Yes, writing is an art form. It provokes thoughts and feelings, much like a painting would do. It is
something that should be appreciated and it expresses emotion.
I agree that writers put just as much work into their writing as a painter does with a painting. You
can feel more emotion with a piece of writing than you can with a painting. It is definitely an art
form. |

Art is without a doubt an art form- it has to be crafted and can cause changes of emotions in
people's feelings, just as paintings and other art forms can. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Yes the writing process paints a scene in your minds eye just like art but, unlike art it gives you
scents and feeling it takes you on a emotional roller coaster. |

Well to start of with my opinion I would rather say that had writing not been an art form, any
person would have become a writer around. Writing is one such an act which brings out all the
emotions and sentiments that have been stored in somebody’s mind or soul may be. It is not that
every time a person will be able to take up a painting brush and will start making all such images
in a canvas with his or her artistic ability. Sometimes people take up a pen and start scripting
about all such things that is going on in his or her mind, they put all their creative abilities in
those texts which takes the form of a poem or a story. Thus we can say that it is a proven fact that
writing is definitely an art form. |

Writing is art. Plain and simple. Plus, I already made my case. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
To write is to relate on to paper the dreams and aspirations of the soul.
To write is paining a picture as clear as if it were paint on a canvas.
Its is truly an art form more people need to indulge in.
With out these types of artists our favorite novels, movies,poems and songs would be non-existent. |
| |
|
| |
|

Yes, I guess so, actually anything can be considered as art, even house work like washing dishes or
ironing clothes! |

Art is a medium of expression. Hence, anything that enables us to express or put forward our
emotions for others to know can be counted as art. Good writing, speaking or singing etc are all
forms of art just like painting and sketching.
Poetry and prose have been a part of our syllabus at schools for a long time now and one can not
resist appreciating the way in which words are combined to form meaningful sentences that are
fulfilling to read. It is like each and every word has been carefully picked out to express the
beautiful inner most thoughts of the writer or poet. Whether it sells or not every good and
expressive piece of writing that you produce counts as an art piece. |

Of course writing is an art form anything that expresses an idea or emotion is art art constitutes
as someones representations of anything so writing is an art form in every aspect |

As a successful writer, I'm more inclined to say that "writing" is more of a skill than an art. It
can be taught, cultivated, practiced, and improved. Writing originally and primarily serves
utilitarian purposes in journalism, technical writing, and other "non-artistic" fields. Artistic
writing, like fiction and poetry, clearly falls within "the arts" but I would call the basic act of
writing a skill that can be turned to artistic purposes, or not.
If you want to play at semantics, any endeavor can be called an art: Plumbing, bricklaying, driving,
etc. |

Writing is it's own art form. It's doesn't have traditional art. |

I really don't think your writing is an art form.
-There are people who write and it is an art form. I do believe poetry is considered art; however,
this individual has no art in their writing. If someone else (someone intelligent) left this post I
would vote for it. Had they had proof they had writing that was "art" like."
-There was that better? Lol |
