About This Quote
Art is literacy of the heart. Artists are often referred to as “poets,” but the distinction is important. Poets create poetry from words instead of from images. They also create their art from within themselves, putting themselves on display for the world to see.
Artists, on the other hand, channel their creativity into tangible objects that can be viewed by anyone. In this way, artists present their art for others to see and enjoy.
