Exercise 3
Representation Art
The tiger face is a work of art that is representational because it depicts an animal without actually being an animal. The viewer perceives this to be a tiger head but it is actually made out of clay. The layers of the face give it depth and look “realistic”. Looking similar to a tiger was the artist intention but he did not intend to put an actual tiger into his artwork. A true representational artwork will allow both the viewer and the artist the ability to see an object and think that it is something other then the raw material.
