Everyone makes
ART!
Did you know that every civilization throughout human history has made art? Any anthropologist will tell you that art has been made, discovered, and studied all over the world. One could argue that the necessity for humans to make art has a universal value.
Art Speaks
Visual art transcends linguistic and cultural barriers, acting as a universal language accessible to all. Its power lies in its ability to communicate complex emotions, ideas, and narratives without the need for spoken or written words. A single image can evoke profound feelings, convey historical events, or express societal values, often more immediately and impactfully than text alone. This inherent universality and directness make visual art an exceptionally effective form of communication, fostering understanding and connection across diverse audiences globally.
I'm Dyslexic
A significant number of visual artists are dyslexic, with some studies finding a much higher prevalence among art students compared to the general population—up to three-quarters in some cases. This suggests a natural inclination or aptitude for visual expression among individuals with dyslexia. For many, art becomes a powerful means to navigate communication, offering a non-verbal outlet to convey thoughts, emotions, and ideas that might be challenging to express through traditional language. Their enhanced visual-spatial reasoning, appreciation for color and texture, and ability to think outside the box often lead to innovative and unique artistic expressions, transforming what might be seen as a learning difficulty into a creative strength.
