Define/Explain src and srcset
The src attribute in the <img> element specifies the path to the image you want to display. The srcset attribute allows you to define a list of image sources for different screen sizes or device resolutions, helping browsers choose the most appropriate image.
Define/Explain sizes
The sizes attribute complements srcset by defining a set of media conditions (e.g., screen widths) and indicates the size of the image selected by srcset should be displayed at. This helps the browser to select the most appropriate image source from srcset.
Explain Why Art Direction
Art direction in responsive images involves choosing different images or cropping the same image differently at various screen sizes to convey a message more effectively or to improve layout and composition. It's crucial for maintaining visual impact and user engagement across devices.
Summary of the Documentation
