ABSTRACT

38What will be in your pictures? Even the most abstract images you make will have some content. This content may be its raison d’être, the message itself—the beauty of a flower or the grandeur of a cathedral. You may also use these things as metaphor to articulate your message. The history of art shows that an artist will exploit anything and everything to make a point. This section will suggest reasons for using and ways of working with some of art's best-loved subjects to communicate your artistic message.
