Assignment 2 - A Retrospective.

Abstraction & Representation - 'Making Images Talk'

In assignment 2, I learnt that certain images or symbols are able to effectively represent a certain object or item. In other words, upon visualising a few strokes or lines that depicts a vague picture, people are able to pin point what that object or item is.

(In the context of my assignment piece, a circle with the number 12 atop it effectively tells people that my sketch is of a watch/clock)

However it is to be noted that such representation are subject to one's country or culture, for different cultures have varied values or beliefs that influence their perspectives of looking and judging things.
