Art Education & The Value Of Writing

By Katie Arden


It goes without saying that art is one of the greatest platforms for self-expression. Seeing as how there are many ways for works to be created, I am sure that no one can argue with the previous statement. However, it's important for art students to have an escape, whether it is directly related to art or not. If this is the case, though, you can be certain that writing can prove to be one of the finest escapes to get involved in during the long term.

To say that writing is able to be integrated into various topics would be an understatement. Let's say that you are someone who is heavy into game design; it's possible that stories can be created through writing skills. Marketing agencies will require writers as well, since the creation of content is done largely through effective writing. However, you have to consider that writing can serve greater purposes outside of professional matters.

Creative writing is, in my view, one of the most engaging forms of art that anyone can get involved in. It was something I was especially into during my time in college, since I was not able to tackle this as much as I could have in most of my classes. Instead, I allowed myself a certain degree of time to write for myself, which was more than helpful. The ability to create anything, ranging from blogs to short stories, was made possible because of this style of writing.

I am sure that many other writers will be able to agree with such a sentiment. Keep in mind that many new college students do not have large groups of friends; many students may not be able to make friends even after time has passed. However, writing does something that not every activity can. It is able to bring people together, regardless of their social skills, and it allows them to meet like-minded people they probably wouldn't have encountered otherwise.

Writing can be integrated into just about any industry that requires those particular skills. What this means is that it is possible for potential workers to integrate themselves in various companies before they provide the best services imaginable. However, it would be a lie to say that this is all that writing does. For many, writing serves as a gateway of communication, meaning that those who aren't the most social can find value in it all the same.
