Imagine you have a cookie, some cookies stay fresh for days, while others crumble the moment you touch them. Paintings are like cookies. If they're made with strong ingredients (like good paint and strong canvas), they can last for hundreds of years. But if they're weak or not cared for, they might fall apart quickly.
Examples
- A cookie made with chocolate stays fresh longer than one made with sugar.
- A picture painted with bright reds fades faster when left in sunlight.
