Paintings can change over time because they're made with special magic ingredients that react to the world around them. Just like how ice cream melts in the sun, paint colors can fade or turn darker when exposed to light and air. Over many years, a bright red apple on a canvas might become a soft pink, it's still an apple, but now it looks different!
Examples
- A yellow bird on a painting might look green when it’s been hanging near a window.
