Description
“Arting” is a verb, a process much like writing. Artists and writers move through similar stages when creating. Traditionally, visual arts and writing have been taught as stand-alone subjects, when in fact their greatest relevance is their complementary capacity to intersect one another, creating a dance between the two art forms.
