		These symbols are highly individualized since they result from children's conceptual understanding rather than observation of the world around them.
		The symbols that children, five and six years old, draw for a person usually have a clearly differentiated head and trunk with arms and legs placed in the appropriate locations.
		Once a child has established a definite symbol (or schema) for a person, it will be repeated again and again without much variation unless a particular experience causes the child to modify the concepts involved.

		The operation of specific consonantal or vowel sound symbolism (phonetic symbolism in the narrow sense) has not been established; sound symbolism appears to be symbolism of the whole word (morphosymbolism) rather than of the individual phoneme.
		Symbolism cannot be learned as one learns to build bridges or speak a foreign language, and for the interpretation of symbols a special cast of mind is necessary; in addition to knowledge, special faculties, the power of creative thought and a developed imagination are required.
		One who understands the use of symbolism in the arts, knows, in a general way, what is meant by occult symbolism.

	Mark Harden's Artchive: "Symbolism"
		Symbolism began as a literary movement that developed from Romanticism in France in the second half of the 19th century, taking its themes of decadence, dandyism and mysticism from the novels of J.K. Huysmans.
		The use of symbols has had a long tradition in European art, and we may see origins of 19th century Symbolism in the mystical and visionary works of Piranesi, Fuseli, Goya and Friedrich.
		Symbolism had far reaching influences as a movement in reaction to Realism and Impressionism, and the Nabis and Gauguin were closely related to the Symbolists, as well as the Swiss painter Ferdinand Hodler and the Norwegian Edvard Munch.

		The art of the Celtic Revival of the 19th and 20th centuries is as much the heritage of the CyberCelt of the Third Millennium as is the magnificent Celtic Art of Pagan and early Christian times.

	Symbolism Summary & Essays - n/a
		The symbolists sought to convey very personal, irrational, and dream-like states of consciousness, relying heavily on metaphorical language to approximate, or symbolize, an eternal essence of being that, they believed, was abstracted from the scope of the five senses.

		It is not uncommon for children's first representations of the figure to be highly unrealistic or to be missing a neck, body, arms, fingers, feet, or toes.
		Others argue that children don't look at what they are drawing; instead, they look at the abstract shapes already in their repertoire and discover that these forms can be combined in various ways to symbolize objects in the world.
		When planning for drawing and painting activities, teachers should consider that four and five-year olds tend to be egocentric in nature; and, thus, motivational topics which enable these children to express something about their emerging concepts of self are particularly beneficial.

	Symbolism
		That is why we call Symbolism a style that moves away from Neoimpresionism in the subjects of its painting.
		The aim to create an art independent of their moment is related to all artists in this age.

	In Search of Meaning (Site not responding. Last check: )
		While it may be reckless speculation to claim a certain symbolic meaning as the original intent of an artist working in the Dark Ages, we should not dismiss that an artist working in our own times intends a symbolic message in the same type of design and that that meaning is valid in context.
		Allen opines that the triquetra is not a Trinity symbol and casts doubt that it was used as a symbol at all.
		The various beliefs that the symbolism is now lost or perhaps dimly remembered or optimistically preserved by a few who have kept and studied the old traditions, cloaks Celtic art in an exciting veil of mystery.
