American Sign Language is a visual language and therefore is not written. As a result of this, it would make sense that the Deaf community would have a love of visual arts. There are many famous Deaf artists
who have continually and accurately portrayed the Deaf experience on their media
of choice. Deaf culture itself is even passed down "verbally" through
storytelling, theatre, and performances--not through books like the hearing
culture.
"Deaf culture art is more than just a painting or a drawing. It brings the Deaf
community together. Deaf culture art puts the feelings that many Deaf people
experience on canvas."
