 The second section deals with the expressive features of animal forms in contemporary American ceramics.

The expressive energy is accumulated with the structure of imagination in the animal forms executed on Annette Corcoran’s ceramic products to form a cognitive connection with the specificity of the semantic approach to the unity of the narrative animal subject and its various structures. The conclusions are that the nature of the expressive and symbolic meaning of the animal forms executed on Annette Corcoran’s ceramics is based on the relationship that connects the signifier to the signified and constructs the interpretive and hermeneutical meaning of the forms and their subjects based on the formulas of composition and condensation in their meanings, contents and levels, and the recommendations.
