Artists see the world like a camera, but each has their own settings. Imagine two kids painting the same tree: one might use bright, happy colors to show how it makes them feel, while another might paint dark, gloomy shades because that's what they see when they're sad. It's not about right or wrong, it’s about how each artist feels and thinks.
Examples
- Two artists paint the same tree: one makes it look happy, the other sad.
- A boy paints a mountain as big and tall, while his sister paints it small and quiet.
