The well-know idiom "A picture is worth a thousand words" has been used many times over to express the notion that a picture can convey information more effectively than words – formulated into sentences, paragraphs and grammatically structured to be understood – can do. It should be made clear from the onset that this notion is dependent on the individual and how the recipient responds to viewing the picture. This may be true in some circumstances but it isn't as black and white as that. Words ''are'' a powerful construct. They are the building blocks of language, of communication, and are used to formulate ideas, theories, thoughts in subjective, objective and neutral ways. However, pictures in varying different forms: photographs, prints, paintings, sketches, graffiti and digital art, can all evoke an emotional response just as effectively as writing and reading words. This emotional response can allow the viewer to go beyond the flat image by exercising thought processes in a creative and expressive way. It is something we do every time we "look" at a picture and "see" what we want to see.
