abstraction noun
1 the quality of dealing with ideas rather than events: topics will vary in degrees of abstraction.
• something that exists only as an idea: the question can no longer be treated only
representationally.
2 freedom from representational qualities in art: geometric and organic imagery
• an abstract work of art.
3 a state of preoccupation: it’s what happens with artists when they are working.
4 the process of considering something independently of its associations, attributes, or
concrete accompaniments: giving objects the power to represent more than its reality.
5 the process of removing something, deleting non essentials, like form, lines, color that tell our
eyes
it is something from the real world
6 Why? the question that invariably arises. (see #1)
ORIGIN late Middle English: from Latin verb abstrahere ‘draw away’ (see abstract) .

Member Opportunity!

message from Newsletter editor……..

We are seeking a new Newsletter Editor beginning with the March edition and this means a

unique opportunity for a WCAGA member. This has been an absolutely wonderful experience

which I will be leaving in order to take on other WCAGA responsibilities. While serving as editor

of this essential publication I have had the invaluable experience of becoming more deeply

involved with WCAGA. For any of you living outside the immediate Atlanta vicinity this would be

the ideal opportunity for you to become a more active member from a distance. Please let me

know if you are interested at klfrostataol.com
