Multiple Image Structures

For this post, I would like to analyze an exemplified work in Mary Stewart's textbook titled, Launching the Imagination, that appears in the section that addresses "Multiple Image Structures" (322). On page 323, Stewart provides three works that were produced in a calendar and each picture pointed toward the same theme: a frog (323). She states that photos can be grouped by content, such the grouping of works that contain similar shapes, and the order of the photos can be unimportant (Stewart 322). Stewart does point out that the similar shapes that unify works, for example can be a pyramid pattern that is conveyed throughout each piece, however her example titled, "Frog Folio" (Figure 14.6), shows a frog at different angles, therefore the frog does not convey the same shape, but does convey the idea of the frog, which is meant to be the unifying point. In conclusion, both unifying shapes, ideas, and even implied shapes cause connections to meanings within images that would have otherwise gone unnoticed if not for the other images used as support.
