| This is a representational image because it is a photo of Paradise Cove. It is a direct reporting of the area. The colors are faithful and the image is detailed. We can clearly recognize this as the ocean with mountians. It is a real image in a real environment, therefore falls into the representational catagory. It is not an image that can be easily interpreted into something else. |
Abstract-
 |
| This is a sktech of a cartooned solider. It distorts some of the elements of a real soldier, such as the helmet, face and gun. There are still enough details to let the viewer know that it's a soldier but nothing to determine a specfic person. The helmet, gun and camo outfit help to tell the viewer what the image is. It is a distilled version of what a soldier could look like. It's more towards the representational spectrum of abstraction but still qualifies as abstract for the reasons above. |
Symbolic-
 |
| This is a music symbol. It is a part of a code that tells musicians what to play. Real music doesn't actually look like is, nor is real music visable. This is a visual way to depict an abstract concept. People must be taught what this is and what it represents in order to understand it. It is a shared and coded form. |
