Writing and Art

Writing is not often associated with art in a general sense. Writing deals with words, art with images. But words and images are in my mind almost the same. A word is an image, an idea. An image works the same way. They both express ideas in the same way. When a book is written, it centers on an idea. In the same way a piece of art communicates an idea as well. While the medium of communication may vary, the goal is the same. I’m a musician, so I believe music also falls in close association with art and writing. In essence, music takes the words and thought of writing, and combines it will the expression and abstractness of art. But all of it is united in it’s goal, of communicating an idea.
