Q: Is Drawing a Language? Can drawings say things that are hard to say with words?
A: Yes, I believe drawing is a language. Drawing can convey ideas without words because it has been done before by the Egyptians with hieroglyphics. As well, many artists can communicate their feelings or ideas of the world through drawings; Some of these feelings might not be able to translate accurately through words so artist utilize drawings. Those who view their art can interpret how an artist might feel or interpret their message.
