What this significance is will vary enormously with the individual artist but it is only by this standard that the accuracy of the drawing can be judged. It is this difference between scientific accuracy and artistic accuracy that puzzles so many people. Science demands that phenomena be observed with the unemotional accuracy of a weighing machine while artistic accuracy demands that things be observed by a sentient individual recording the sensations produced in him by the phenomena of life. And people with the scientific habit that is now so common among us seeing a picture or drawing in which what are called facts have been expressed emotionally are puzzled if they are modest or laugh at what they consider a glaring mistake in drawing if they are not when all the time it may be their mistaken point of view that is at fault.
