Hello! As you’ve learned in class, there are three ways we can send and receive visual information…representationally, abstractly and symbolically. For this project, you are to choose a singe subject and then express it in all three ways. The subject can be anything. You will create three 8.5×11 compositions (landscape or portrait), each one in a different style of expression…one representational, one abstract, and one symbolic. How you create your composition is up to you…it can be digital or hand-rendered. Again, all three compositions should have the same subject/message/meaning, but express it differently.
An example I gave in class was a poster of Balboa Park. You could use photography to represent it with photorealism in one piece. Then, you could use rough vector shapes in Illustrator to create a visually reduced vector version in another piece (think art deco design, etc). Then, you could think of another poster, that somehow uses symbolism to convey the meaning of Balboa Park in another piece (visual metaphors and other symbology, etc).
I look forward to seeing what you come up with. If you have any questions, please let me know.
Blessings,
