key idea

There are many ways to illustrate a person, place, event, or story. Artists make choices about the colors, composition (the way something is arranged), and details they show in their images.

When you compare two pictures of the same thing, think about how the artists' choices highlight different ideas or feelings.

solution

The picture below suggests that Johnny Appleseed is a good storyteller. You can tell because he is sitting and talking to children, who appear interested in what he is saying.

The other picture shows Johnny Appleseed standing next to a tree. This does not suggest that he is a good storyteller.
