Writing As An Outlet For Art Students

By Katie Arden


Art, more than anything else, should be a platform designed for the purpose of expression. Everyone has their own messages to convey, which is fortunate when given the fact that various mediums can be utilized in order for said messages to rise to the forefront. Did you know, though, that there is a greater level of value to be had with writing? Those who are in the process of pursing art education should note how writing can serve as something of an outlet.

It's easy to see that writers can get involved in a number of professions, depending on where their interests lie. For example, if you are someone who is into marketing, you may be able to construct press releases and the like. If you are heavy into game design, your skills can come into effect for the sake of creating strong narratives. As you can see, writing has an influence in art school but what about the ways in which writing can be brought into effect outside of it?

When I was in school, I found myself doing little writing, at least in terms of creativity. I didn't exactly find this to be conducive, since even back then I was someone who enjoyed being creative, which means that most of my enjoyable writing was done outside of school. Everything from fiction to blogs detailing my own life were created. While they may not have gained many readers, at the very least I was able to convey my thoughts, since I couldn't so effectively in the social sense.

If you're looking to remain social with others, who's to say that writing cannot be utilized? Not everyone is able to engage in face-to-face conversation, which means that other avenues of engagement must be taken instead. Fortunately, writing can bring together like-minded individuals, seeing as how they will read material based on the interests they have. When this is done, conversation can be made more easily, thereby increasing the likelihood of networking being done well.

To say that writing has many benefits would be an understatement. What makes it even better is that you do not necessarily have to be skilled in order to get involved in writing; you simply have to possess an idea and the drive to make said idea come to life. Yes, writing can serve as something of a gateway when it comes to a person's future in the professional sense. For their own comfort and leisure, though, it's an activity that shouldn't be stopped.
