Symbolic   


Symbolic   

Representational: This piece is trying to represent the natural world, Using the closest colors to the real world and trying to make sure that the objects in the pictures are the right color. The shapes are also the same as they would grow in the real world. This picture is meant to show you what the artist was actually seeing rather then just making shapes that came out of the imagination.

Abstract: In the abstract piece you see the shape of a tree in the middle of the picture. However the tree itself is not what a normal or real tree would look like because it seems to made of light. The rest of the image also has color variations that differ from the real world. Its meant to be about a feeling you get when you look at the picture rather then a pretty picture of a tree. It is very specific about what has been changed from what it may have looked like if it had been about a representation of the real world. Its context is more about the spirit of the tree rather then the tree itself.

Symbolic: The symbolic tree at the bottom is meant to look like a tree but it shows you more and less then what you would see in real life. The roots are fully visible which in real life that would not make any sense to see them and would certainly depict a week structure if it where. Yet the picture itself gives of the feeling of balance and stability. There is also a play on the colors of the piece, they are unnaturally inverted to give more balance to the work. The symbol of a tree can stand for many things such as family, life, Prosperity, and more.
