Basic Definitions of Denotations and Connotations.

In Tuesdays' media lesson i worked with Kieron Marchese, and we were given a sheet of paper with numerous photographs on which i believe Kieron is going to scan on for me to pinch and apply to my blog asap. Basically, they featured a collection of women and a collection of men. We were then asked to write what we could see in the pictures, and then what we thought they were trying to say about the person or figure shown. This is the difference between connotation and denotation;
Connotations are ideas or feelings that are implicated - 'the implied or resultant meaning'
Denotations are what we can physically see in a picture or image.
for example, out of this context, the word home would be a denotation, and from it could come connotations in the form of a place of warmth, comfort and affection.
