Reddy said it would be challenging to pick something that is abstract, so to challenge ourselves, Geri and I picked Time. Of all things, we could have chosen clock, chair, butterfly, yada yada, but nope, I had to suggest Time. So we tried it out, and this was what we came up with at first:
Sorry about the lightness of the pencil markings - hope you can still sort of see it. Basically our Iconic representation is a drawing of the typical clock. In the Indexic representation, we removed all the numbers on the clock, as well as the hour and minute hands. To show that its a clock and not just a simple circle, we added the roman numeral for 12.
However, Reddy commented that what we showed him didn't look like it represented Time, but rather, it represented Clock. On hindsight, its true - haha! So we did a little revision, and we were thinking about what really represents time, even in its Iconic form. We were thinking along the lines of sundials and hourglasses. As sundials are already very simply designed, we decided to pick hourglasses to draw instead:
So again, the Iconic representation of it would be a typical hourglass. In the Indexic representation, we drew only the sand within the hourglass. This is because the sand flows through the hourglass as time passes, so the sand itself, to us, would represent Time.
Sadly, according to Reddy, this isn't a good representation, but a good try on our part (haha - consolation prize). Time is a very abstract ideal, so it's tough to place it on paper.
One thing I've learnt - perhaps it would be smarter not to 'challenge' ourselves. That way we could go back home earlier. Haha! ;)
