Say's who???
I mean that literally, you can't really speak for how other people think...
The idea does resonate with me however, and it's really nice to think that we can appreciate each other for our differences and not judge them as good or bad...
One thing though...
We expect a 6 year old to draw the bear in a 'less than perfect' way, so it doesn't really make the point.
I would think a real test would be to be able to appreciate the artistically uninclined adult expression of the bear with the same awe we hold for the Mona Lisa or a 6 year's first free drawing
