Visual Rhetoric vs. Art

I feel that art and visual rhetoric are perhaps the same things. Both are used to convey some sort of meaning and both possess cultural meaning. I honestly don't see much difference between the two. Art was invented before the term visual rhetoric came along and the dawning of the word, I feel, is just another way to express what is art and what isn't. The term originated to discern the two but I don't see any difference. This is a pretty short post but, "that's all I have to say about that!" (Forrest Gump voice) Haha!

Sincerely,
