Re: Experiencing Art

From: Teresa Tipton (tiptonist)

What is true for poetry is true of all art media, including computer
technology, where a person engaging with the tools, transforms what
previously existed into something new through imagination, exploration, and
experimentation. Whether poetry, painting with a brush or a mouse, the
transformative impact exists on the body, mind, and soul.
