Representational-This lamp is designed to look and represent the human form while still being a functional lamp. The idea of the light bulb as the head of the human figure is a light bulb which is similar in shape and the body the main feature for space and its shape with human legs to bring the shape all together.
- It gives the feeling that man kinds brain is the most important feature because the light bulb is so big in comparison to the body.
-The light bulb by itself is a symbol for thought or an idea.The human form is abstracted because of its function and symbolism.
Abstract
- The configuration is simple in repeating shapes and light tones. The shape of the lamp is brought to look like a pine cone but it doesn't use anything else we would see from nature such as color or textures . The shingles act as these visual ques in the overlapping style they where conformed into.
-Because it does shine and produce light you can definitely see the coloration between shape and the function it represents as a lamp. The uniformity of the design is a symbol of power and class in our society.
- It is the universal symbol for a lamp or light. The lack of detail allows it to symbolize rather then represent other lamps. This symbol is known to us to be a symbol of light. We know what is meant by the picture and it can be understood by anyone in the modern age.
- The impact is that it tells the viewer what its function is rather then to give a visual description. You see this symbol and know that it means light will come from this.
-Its not a representation of a lamp that gives its meaning but its shape and because it is a recognizable shape that everyone can relate to it is easy to understand its function in our world. By using the same shapes to represent what a real lamp would look like, it brings the memory of what a lamp is and what they can look like from past experiences.
