Representational
- identify what role it plays in the whole:
The picture is of a chair. It represents to us the visual information that we are looking at a chair.
- describe what kind of impact it has:
When you see chair, you think furniture. It is just some place for us to sit as well as a decoration to tie more then just one piece of furniture together.
- how it relates to the other two levels:
The abstract level shows us that although the picture is representational because what we see is a chair, it is a non-taditional chair, and while we are shown a chair, we are also shown a symbol of love.
Abstract
- identify what role it plays in the whole:
We see here a chair in the shape of a heart. It is abstract in the sense that heart does not really look like that, and a chair does not traditionally look like a heart.
- describe what kind of impact it has:
It has an impact on us by showing us that a chair does not have to have four legs a back and arm rests. It shows us love and intensity through the colors it presents us with.
- how it relates to the other two levels:
While the chair may be non-traditional, we are also shown by the representational side that it is in fact a chair, and the symbol of a heart that describes more to us then a chair does.
Symbolic
- identify what role it plays in the whole:
When we represent a heart it is usually to show love to someone, and showing a picture of an actual heart beating in our chests is not something we like to think of as lovely. The symbol for a heart really does not look anything like a heart, yet we take it as it is.
- describe what kind of impact it has:
The heart chair symbolizes love and could be a thoughtful gift for someone on valentines day. It has an impact of being bold yet unrealistic, and possibly even comfortable.
- how it relates to the other two levels:
The representational part is the chair in general, and the abstract part is the fact that it is more then just a chair.
