re: #227 CuriousLurker

I can see how things like houses, forms of transportation, clothing, food, and family dynamics affecting creative expression, such as described in the article:

But a snowman is a very basic shape modeled after the human from, which is the same everywhere—like a stick figure. If I ask a kid in Iran to draw a garden, it’s probably gonna look a lot different than if I ask an American kid to draw one. If I asked both kids to draw a flower I’d expect them to be very similar (unless one kid was especially creative). Ditto for requests to draw a cat, dog, etc.

Though if you ask them to write what the dog or cat sounds like you’ll get different results.
