- #6 Before you can truly experience art you must first learn to PERCEIVE. This means to recognize, discern, envision, or understand. "Mirrors are possibly the most important things in life. What you see in the mirror may not be the same thing as someone else sees. It’s all a matter of perception - not what’s actually there, but what you see as being there."- Ryan Stokes Perception is to SEE what the art is communicating.
