Responding the question that whether writing is a skill or art, I would say that writing is more of a skill than an art especially in the stage of learning. After someone have learned all those skill necessary for writing, then it takes the form of an art but on the condition that the writer has a gifted talent in writing. Writing can turn to an art more because he will no longer think of mechanics and other organizations techniques and he/she will only focus on implying the meaning in a beautiful, attractive, and clear, finally artistic way.
As I am an artist I love any types of art and I would say that art is the highest level for any skill. In other words, when a skill reaches to its best and peak, it becomes creative and unique. So this is true with not only painting, calligraphy and etc., but also with writing, speaking, acting, sports, dance, and so forth. But not to forget that the first thing that helps it is gifted talent, the second is long term learning, the third is constant practice to turn a skill to an art.

Same here. I sometime have hard time to spell some simple English words such as "severe."
I agree. Anyone can develop the skill of writing. As students we must write to demonstrate our knowledge.
With much practice and a God given talent there are those among us that can take writing to an art form.
