Drawing: lines, shapes and drawing what you really see, sentence 1

The biggest trick is to draw what you SEE, not what you THINK things look like: your brain has ready-made symbols, like a lollipop tree, but a real tree has messy branches, gaps and many greens.

Who acts: biggest trick, you, things, brain, real tree · What happens: be, see, think, look, have, make · To what, where: ready made symbols, messy branches · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of the lesson «Drawing: lines, shapes and drawing what you really see» of the arts course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (biggest trick, you, things, brain), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.

The tree: Mova annot: Rust (en) → Haiku 5.5 (medium, Batches API) patches; gates UD 2.18; agreed by treeagree rules (Stanza, Trankit, spaCy trf): R1-cc-next ×2, R7-rel-agree ×1. The frames are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (prag) when this page is built, the lesson read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence.
