Language Arts


L.A. stands for language arts.  What do you do in language arts? You write. In Art class you draw, paint and sculpt.  Both are arts, yet people don't consider authors artists. 

What can so-called "artists" do that authors can't?  Authors paint too, they just use a pencil instead of a brush.  The reader's mind is their canvas and words are their paint, hence, "painting a picture with words".  They create the same beautiful pieces, they just use different tools.

There were three types of artists; drawers, painters, and sculptors; but now, there's a fourth.  Authors are artists.
