"And since art is something you can see, we can tell what it looks like. "

Art is also variable, so a fictional creation doesn't really have an objective basis for how it's supposed to look like. I mean, classical "angels" in holy texts are described as beasts with parts from different animals crammed into them, and yet when you say "angel" nowadays people imagine people with wings.

Different people have different views on what a "dragon" looks like, since the very concept of "dragons" came from people seeing reptiles and attributing mythical properties to them. Of course, once a "popular" design for a dragon became 'codified', it then became the basis for all other dragons simply because it's the vision people tend to have, similar to the "angels" aforementioned.
