What can be the main difference between visual metaphor and symbol in art?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Metaphor creates meaning through comparison while symbol gives meaning through accepted sign

The governing concept is the difference between two meaning-making devices in visual communication. A visual metaphor invites the viewer to understand one thing through comparison with another; for example, a heavy chain may suggest emotional restriction even though it is not literally a feeling. A symbol is an image, object, colour, or sign that carries a meaning recognised through culture, convention, or repeated use, although symbols can also have personal meanings. Thus option A is correct. The distinction is not absolute, because a symbol may work metaphorically and a metaphor may become widely recognised. The other options deny meaning or incorrectly remove the visual basis of both devices.
