It seems that art is very popular on here. But the question is: What do people consider art and what do people not consider art? Also, is it possible that many of us have a very narrow point of view when it comes to art?

What I have come across in the past couple years that I have been on deviantart is that it is a very good place for artists to be promoted. It is easy for many ARTISTS to get attention for THEIR work. However, I have also found that writers tend to have less pageviews than traditional artists and photographers. It seems to me that many people simply do not want to take the time to read their work. Maybe they just don't think that writing is an art form. But let me ask this question: Isn't there creativity in writing? Don't people express themselves through THEIR writing?

Now depending on your definition of art, you can either believe writing is or isn't art. But, you cannot deny that writing is a form of expression. And many people use it to express their creativity. Are we ready to support writers as much as we are ready to support artists and photographers?

The question we must ask ourselves is whether or not we are ignoring writers. Because from what I've seen they have been ignored in comparison to artists and photographers etc.

I have seen many writers with quite a few pageviews though. So really, it may or may not depend on the category they put most of their art in. I just want to know: How bias are we when it comes to our views of art?

Think about it.
