Paintings look different when they're in frames because the frame adds a border that changes how we see them. Think of it like putting a picture inside a window, suddenly, the whole thing looks more special and complete! The frame also helps protect the painting and makes it easier to hang on a wall.
Examples
- A drawing looks more like a picture when you put it in a frame.
- Framing your birthday card makes it feel more special to give as a gift.
