Better at art or writing?

There are several forms of creativity, the two most known are writing and art. Which one are you best at?
I'd say I'm better at writing.

Art, by FAR.

I'm not very good when it comes to writing.

What the hell kind of class were you tested on the greek alphabet? I've only ever had to take that test in *vomit* Latin.

the song IS catchy...someone made a "theta eta pi" joke in my culinary class once and about 75% of the class was singing or humming it by the end of class

as for the topic at hand, is it incredibly big-headed of me to say "both"?

Also, Hey Korova! (I always have this intense urge to call you "Korovy" or "Rovy" ala my neighbor's dog Corona and "Corony" and "Rony")

I chose both because there is really no way to judge art. I can paint, draw, graphic design, ect.

I am also a very good essay writer.

Which am I better at?

Depends on who you ask. I enjoy doing both.

I like writing essays, especially when I can make it obvious that I disliked the essay, yet have it still come out as a very well written essay...

Though an essay I'm geuninely interested in/enjoy is always good too

I'm a much better artist, but I'm a better musician than visual artist.

Back off topic...... I'm a member of "I ate'a Pi", because I used to date an Alpha Delta Pi.

That's not true.

Judging art is very easy once you understand it. It has a LOT of thing you have to know. You judge art based on use of space, shape, value, line, texture, and so on, so forth. Once you've figured all that out you relate it to the content and see if they got their point across well.

I love writing poetry and short stories, although I've always done well on essays in school.

I can generally pull out a great piece of analytic writing in quite a short amount of time. I've written maybe one good poem, never a great one, but produced dozens. Art? Pfft. Not even to safe my life.

I can't say if I'm any good at writing or drawing but I give both of them a try. Still I'd say that I'm better at writing altough I suck at poems.

Both, I'd have to say. My visual art skills are developing quickly, and my writing has always been superior to most of those my age, though I suppose that's more an insult to American highschoolers in general than a boast.

I can't do creative writing worth a shit, but I used to write a little poetry (which is probably also crap, but that's beside the point) and am somewhat decent at essays.

I'm better at visual art than at literary art, though. I can draw a bit, I'm pretty good at graphic type art, and I'm good at creative things like knitting, sewing, etc.

Nope, since I haven't written anything new in a while, and I'm going through a phase of hating all my old stuff.

Love the location, by the way.

Writing these days. Used to be both, but no longer possess the ability to paint or draw a decent picture of anything.

I'm really more of an artist than a writer. I took all these classes in h.s. with the intent to one day be a journalist, then i found out i hated it.
