Semiotic Paintings

Semiotic Painting Collage

For this project, I had  to map out words that related to the word "NATURE".  I had to chose nine and create paintings that represent the words with icons, symbols, or indexes. Then I had to arrange the paintings in a way that creates movement throughout the arrangement. Five out nine of the paintings had to be from photographs (taken by me).
