It's a good thing when a class gets you thinking deeply on the first day.
"reality has no meaning without representation"
example?
The teacher handed out a lifesize metallic highly stylized apple to one girl, and then handed out a small plastic slightly more realistic apple ornament to another. She then asked them to each describe what they held in their hands in one word. Of course, they both said "apple". Then she pulled out a real apple, and asked us what it was. Pretty interesting.
