• Fourteen different styles of handwriting in hieroglyph which then crystallize in it’s present form
• Ancient Chinese Bronzes were formed and created 607 symbols of hsiang cheng remains

Laconic Form
Laconism helps us with a transition to another point.
Japan possesses the laconic form of poetry
“Haiki”
(During the Beginning or the 13th Century)In the modern age this is known as
“Haiku” or “Hokku”

capture a feeling or image.
“Butterflies are cool
in the big, huge, green forest.
They fly up so high!”

The days will become shorterAnd then winter will fall too.’’

Skaraku’s Faces
Skaraku is a creator of the finest prints of the 18th Century.
He uses the same expression but these pictures are of a old priest and a young
women.
Each of his large heads:• Space between the eyes are little to mock
all the faces.• Nose is twice as long in relation to the
eyes.• Chin stands in no sort of relation to the
mouth and the brows.
Ayiesha Williams
Monstrous Disproportion
• Disproportion depiction of an event is organically natural to us.
• Monstrous disproportion of a part is normally flowing event.
• Dismember of this part usually turns into a “close up” in to a event
• Example:▫ Extreme close up of bulging eyes▫ Medium shot of the struggle▫ Close up of clutching handThese shots combined make one newly informed event into
one whole scene that a meaning now
Bianca Iferika
Monstrous Disproportion
• Everything is represented in passably accurate relationships and with great care in disproportion depiction
• Painting and sculpture are good examples
• Displacing the expressiveness of a art work like a painting or sculpture decree the harmony of the work
Bianca Iferika
Absolute Realism
• Absolute realism is by no mean the correct form of perception
• It is basically the function of certain forms of social structure

function of symbols
▫ This unite to dual estrangement that sphere into theater
Bianca Iferika
