REPRESENTATIONAL

“…in painting and sculpture, the term ‘representational art’ usually refers to images that are clearly recognizable for what they purport to be, such as a human figure, a banana, a tree, and so on. Such images need not be true to life. A tree does not have to be green, or even upright, but it must clearly represent or be recognizable as a tree…common examples of this type of art include portraits, traditional landscapes, paintings of everyday scenes, historical or mythological painting…” http://www.visual-arts-cork.com/representational-art.htm
