For anyone who thinks they're the same thing - an artist might look at or imagine a scene, adjust the colours so they complement or clash with each other to enhance the mood they want to create, move things so it flows or jars, add things to make it funny or poignant, breathe their own experiences and desires and fears and humour into it, tap into something childlike or sad or silly or beautiful, and use their own body and mind to realise it.
