  1. Creating pieces of visual art for creative responses

  2. Symbolism is using items to represent other ideas (using symbols). The items might be: physical objects (eg. a rose) colours behaviours (eg. raising binoculars) sounds (eg. thunder)

  3. Terminology Sometimes, one small part of a thing can represent the whole thing (eg. fireman’s helmet conjures images of fire fighting; a crown represent royalty or the monarchy). This is called metonymy. The meaning that is carried or conveyed by a symbol is called the connotation. A symbol that reoccurs throughout a text is called a motif.
