A brush paints three blue strokes while a dot hops to a slow drum beat, leaving marks far apart: blue colours and a slow beat can feel sad. Then bright yellow and orange strokes and a fast drum beat, with marks close together, can feel happy, and the two pictures sit side by side to show that colours and sounds can show a feeling.
