I've heard it suggested by a few people that people who are more visual are also often better suited to creative forms of writing like poetry or short stories etc. Where as Musicians tend to be better at more mathematical style stuff.

So tell me dear MacNN members. If you are in the whole visual arts field are you at all poetic? And if you are a musician are you poetic or non?

Uh... you forgot musician and visual artist.

I dabble in both. But I'll admit I am a better painter than guitar player/drummer. But what I am best at is sculpture.

But I do not like poetry. And I don't really like short stories either.

I am an epic novelist kind of guy.

Oh, and I am very good at math.

So, I didn't vote in this flawed poll.

i'm in communication arts (graphic design). i have a strong appreciation for the arts, my abilities are subjective (i dabble in many aspects), though i make my living in graphic design. the technical aspects of art interest me, though as i grow, i see my interests evolving more toward fine arts. (i didn't vote in the poll above.)

I was going to vote 'Art is for girly men" and then remembered about body painting. So I'll modify it to "Poetry is for girly men".

Visual art, and Music.

Poetry I love to read, but not that great at.
