ISOM SYMBOLIC ART
A systematic means of communicating ideas or feelings by the use of conventionalized signs, or marks which may have understood meanings.
Art, Sociology and Symbols
To the human mind, symbols are cultural representations of reality. Every culture has its own set of symbols associated with different experiences and perceptions. Thus, as a representation, a symbol's meaning is neither instinctive nor automatic. The culture's members must interpret and over time reinterpret the symbol.
