Representational:This is an image of a dollar bill zoomed into one of the corners which contains what's known as "The All-Seeing Eye." Below the pyramid/eye symbol are the words, "Novus Ordo Seclorum," which can be translated as, "A new order of the ages." This is a form of representation in an item that we use on a daily basis. All Americans have seen it, but not everyone knows what it is or what it represents. To the viewer, it can represent many different things. Either that the Government watching over the people, or that nothing is hidden from the Government, or that the symbol of an eye is a universal energy. In this case, the representational form has transformed into a symbol of an eye.
Abstraction:
This an abstract image made up of lines, shapes, and color. To the viewer, it communicates abstraction because we are not visually seeing a photograph or still life painting. We see lines, color and shapes that make out a highway with cars on it with a city in the background. This is based on our knowledge as a society, not all people may see a city and a highway. It is an abstracted form because the viewer contributes an emotional response to the painting by adding their own imagination to what they seeing. The colors can impact your emotions by making you feel like your in the city, or that your stressed out, etc.
Symbolism:
This is an image of a symbolic representation of today's society. Many people have seen an evolution photo of how man developed from apes. This is a humorous photo of how man evolved from apes to man to pigs. The viewer can see how the evolution occurred and then developed into what most people view as men. Before the man turns into a pig, it shows a fat man holding a McDonald's bag and drink. This man is a symbol of how today's society is eating too much fast food and developing an unhealthy diet and also not exercising and becoming lazy.
