Literal Layer
The literal drawing (the black and gray charcoal) follows
instruments along a timeline that snakes back and forth and from top to
bottom. The drawing starts with just the
black representing the piano and soon adds the gray as the violin. For most of the song, the gray represents the
violin and the black represents the tone of the bass. For a time, the gray corresponds to the bells,
and this can be observed in the short vertical dashes. Toward the very end, the black and gray make
large sweeping vertical rises that represent the unison crescendo of the song.
Figurative Layer
The figurative drawing (the green oil bar) is divided
bilaterally, horizontally. This main
division relates to the Tommy and Izzy characters through time. Time in this layer is represented vertically
with the past being highest and the future being toward the bottom of the
paper. The paper is then divided into
five segments vertically, which represent different time periods: unknown
history, Spanish period, contemporary, future, and unknown future. The horizontal bands represent periods of
crisis or growth. The different line
types represent different ways of dealing with the crisis, or developmental state at which
the individual is when dealing with the crisis.
