We can't see wind, but we can
see what it does. Trees bend,
leaves go everywhere, and
people's hats flyaway!
An Austrian artist called
Ida Schwetz-Lehmann made
these small sculptures of women
in 1926. She uses the women's shapes to give us the
idea of a strong wind. Their bodies are bending, and
they are holding their hats to stop them blowing away.
You can't see the horizon in this painting of a storm
on the ocean. The water and the sky join together,
and the waves are enormous. The artist's name
is Ivan Aivazovsky, and he was from Russia. He
painted this storm in 1868. He mixed gray, white,
and green colors to show the strong movements of
the wind and the water.
Speed
When you're in a fast car or a train, try looking at
the ground outside. You can't really see it. It's just
lots of lines that move very fast.
A British artist called Philip William May painted
this car in 1929. This was the fastest car in the
world at that time. We think that we are moving
at the same speed as the car. We can see the car
well, but the ground is made of lots of lines.
