"GRAPHIC DESIGN IS AN ART"

Art is the father Abraham of a vast number of fields, and one of them being Graphic
Design. But why is graphic design an art, when it doesn't necessarily involve the
use of a traditional paintbrush and ink.

To better understand WHY graphic design is an art, one needs to begin with the
understanding of the two terms, GRAPHIC DESIGN and ART.

Graphic Design is the act or profession of visual communication that combines

images, words and ideas to convey information (Chijamz Academy 2020).

Art in itself could translate to

the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in
a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated
primarily for their beauty or emotional power. (Cited from Oxford Languages)

Art is a diverse range of human activity, and resulting product, that involves
creative or imaginative talent expressive of technical proficiency, beauty,
emotional power, or conceptual ideas. (Wikipedia)

So basically, Art :
Makes use of visual communication.
Passes across a message or information.
Involves the use of imagination, talent, and/or technical know-how.
Now guess what? Graphic Design has all these elements, all three (3) of them.

In essence, you don't need to paint a "Mona Lisa" before you become an artist, the
use of visual aids to communicate information or instigate an emotion already makes
you a "Da vinci" of the graphic designing world.
