What is the difference between representational, non-representational, 
and abstract art? 
There's the little bit of overlapping there... Yet essentially "representational" art implies that that 
which you are producing looks like what it is supposed in order to be. An apple can be recognizable 
as an apple, a new person like a person. 
"Abstract" artwork usually reduces the offered topic in order to it's elements in a form or even 
another. You may find a variety of forms... "Cubism" reduced topics to their geometrical equivalents. 
Abstract Impressionism sought (mostly...) to lessen what to crucial colors as well as forms, even 
items that are not normally thought associated with as subjects like audio or perhaps emotion. 
You can easily think of Abstract artwork generally speaking as becoming non-representational.
All associated with these items tend to get most sorts regarding sub-categories. Regarding instance, 
"photorealism" which seeks to always be able to generate a picture as realistically as possible, like a 
photograph.
