Question:

Is what I see really what you see?

So I grew up learning , as did you, that the color of grass is green. The color of the sky is known as blue and clouds are white, etc. But what if the color i know as blue and what you know as blue are actually totally different colors but we don't know because we grew up learning the same exact thing??? Have you ever really thought about that? We can't exactly tell what someone else is seeing so how are we to know they aren't different? Maybe when someone is considered color blind they really just see things differently and the way they see it causes certain colors to be similar. I mean I'm sure some of you who will read this will agree, some will disagree, and some will have NO CLUE what I'm talking about, but really think about it and try to understand it. Because I always think about that and I wish there was a way we could figure it out.

Well what about how artists paint, draw, sketch, etc. ? Why are they so different? I mean we must obviously see things differently...their must be a reason for why would see things differently. I think this is where artistic and creative expression come into play.
