Semiotic representations are communication with many modes.

Translation is unique and different for each person.  When you see a flower it may make you think of something which spurs another emotion which causes you to be happy or sad.  The interpretation can be unknown or unexpected!  Students can translate things we expose them to differently and show a different take on works of art.  A poem may cause someone to want to draw or paint or make a statue. When people express this representation it is Semiotic!  A written or visual translation to an art can be very expressive for some.  Students pull from their personal reactions and experiences when they use artistic expression.  Written or drawn expression is an art form!
