**** Hidden Message ***** what visual artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain because painters translate their experiences into shapes and colours , not words.
most artists take the shapes and colours from the world of nature and from human bodys and motion and relaxation .their choices indicate that these aspects of the world are worth looking at and that they contain beautiful sights
