Excerpt
As I set out to write this paper, my sole intent was to demonstrate that there indeed does exist a common visual language, as seen in art. I began to prove this theory by compiling some sketches of different emotions from Betty Edwards' book, Drawing on the Artist Within, along with adding a few of my own drawings of feelings to the collection. I then had several people write down what each hieroglyphic meant or represented to them as an individual. I did indeed prove my point--many of the pictures were interpreted as having similar meanings by individuals who had diverse backgrounds, with either little or no "formal" art experience, such as classes or lessons.
