Almost everyone in the world is an artist. We usually think that being and artist means to be good at manually doing things like drawing or sketching but that isn't true.

Poetry and all types of literature are also art because the show feelings we humans feel. art portrays anything starting with the truth within someone.
"Every good painter paints what he is." Jackson Pollock
