ABSTRACT
Words are certainly less precise but when used with care, can effectively deliver specific meaning: words, after all, hold our civilization together. Art, on the other end of the spectrum, is not known for precision: the interpretation of visual artworks is almost entirely subjective, and unlike math, there can be many—if not infinite—“correct” answers. Artists spend most of their time developing their work. It might not occur to some that sooner or later, they will also need to speak and write about it. Writing and speaking are not self-contained skills: they depend on well-structured thoughts. Thinking is, therefore, the best workout to prepare for juggling words. Imitation is human nature: artists are visually influenced by other artists and so too are their word choices. Some words are particularly enticing: they not only carry powerful meaning, but also just sound good to the ear.
