Who decides what art means? - Hayley Levitt?

Art is like a story you tell with colors, shapes, and sounds, but no one person gets to say what it really means.

Imagine you have a painting that looks like a stormy sky. One kid might think it’s sad because of the dark clouds, while another sees it as exciting because they imagine lightning. Both are right! Just like how different people see the same tree, one might say it's tall and strong, and another might think it’s swaying in the wind.

Who decides what art means? Well, you do, or anyone who looks at it. The artist might have a special idea when they make it, but once it’s done, the meaning becomes like a game of guesswork. It's up to everyone who sees it to feel something new.

Think about art as if it's your favorite toy. When you play with it, it might mean something special to you. But when your friend plays with it, they might think of it in a different way, and that’s okay! The fun is in how many ways people can enjoy the same art.
