Why is art used as a tool for symbolizing feelings that cannot be spoken?

Sometime's it is like another way of getting your feeling's out. Some people for instance go to the gym for a work-out, some go down the boozer for a pint, some would get a pen and paper and write lyric's. The more talented use art as another way of bringing out there self emotion's. I take it you are interested in art. Art can describe alot about one's personality. I find it really cool. Yes, art symbolises feeling and emotion, but for me it does'nt nessacarily mean that they are feeling's that cannot be spoken. If so, maybe it's just easier for some people to draw or paint something I guess. By the way, I do draw every now and then, and yes I suppose it's because some thing's just can't be talked about, but maybe that's just because the one's you need to talk are'nt there to listen, or simply because people are just not listening and it's just another way of getting one's attention. It's like letting off steam and I think it can be can be very satisfying.
