“A picture is worth a thousand words.” The phrase highlights the phenomenon that a single image, be it a drawing, painting, photograph, or other, can communicate more efficiently and effectively than many words joined together to create a verbal description. This sentiment can be incorporated as a tool into arts administration research to provide rich data, cross cultures, and negotiate difference.
