REPRESENTATION

R

Here we have a representation of a car that I saw this morning. According to A Primer of Visual Literacy the closest thing to actually viewing a three dimensional object in direct experience is a decent photograph of one of that experience. Here is a photograph of a car. This photograph is a direct representation of the actual car that I viewed outside my house as I walked past it. While you will not be able to see this just like I did this morning this photo is one of the closest visual experiences you can have to mine.  Dondis states in here definition of representation, "The photograph is the most technically dependable means of representing visual reality."(A Primer of Visual Literacy, pg 69)
