Art is a skill that has to be developed, though. People who are talented artists weren't born being able to draw or paint. So if someone is untrained them just drawing "two wheels, pedals and handlebars" may be because they

No, at-large reps used to be a thing until a lawsuit made its way to the Supreme Court, who said it was illegal. I believe that the death knell of the idea might have been the reapportionment bill in 1929.
