Reading the signs

This was quite interesting to learn about, as you can have different ways of describing models and other thinngs.
In the seminar we looked at teapots which, i looked at a turtle teapot and we had to say what was the denotation which it was a teapot in a shape of a turtle and then we did panadagms or conotation of the teapot saying that this would not be good at a funeral but may suit a childrens party and that it was a collectable etc; we then did the same with a picture of a doll.
In the lecture we got showed pictures and had to say which ones were the denotation and which ones were myth and conotation.
In all i have found this to be a good way of describing how to put something across and describe it in a better and more professional way.

Can you tell what it is yet?

I was not here for this lecture,
                                                but i have looked at the slides from the lecture and have noticed how much we have changed the way we now look at things for example, you take the old cave paintings from the cavemen which show they had limited knowledge on materals and worked with only what they had used before, Then you get todays work which we are going to see films in 3D, paintings that are so realistic you could get lost in them and we have a whole range of materials too, which has started from the cave men and we have learn't about since and experienced new ways.So thats what i basically picked up from the slides that were shown.
This word realism has grown over time to me as we are getting more and more realistic and in the chosen area i am studying means that people will be expecting more and more in the future for the wow factor for when they are looking at stuff designers have made.
