Representational Art is the exact opposite of Abstract Art.
It depicts recognizable objects within the physical world, like people, places, and things.
This maybe oversimplified, but take for instance an apple; a red, shiny fruit. Most people know what an apple looks like, although the color and size may vary, it is a fairly common object.
An abstract artist may paint an picture of an apple, and when we look at the finished piece we see splashes of green and orange, with blue dots spattered about. To many people, an apple may not be seen from this work, but let's say a representational artist paints the exact same red shiny apple. When he is done, and we look at it, we would probably immediately be apple to recognize it as an apple. The color would be similar, the shapes and outlines, the shadows, and line weight would all look like that apple.
I hoped that helped and didn't insult your intelligence, lol.

Art that you more style into, its more artistic.
Representational art depicts recognizable subjects from the real world, such as people, landscapes, or objects, aiming to represent them in a way that viewers can identify. In contrast, nonrepresentational art (or abstract art) does not attempt to represent specific objects or scenes, focusing instead on elements like colors, shapes, and forms to evoke emotions or concepts without a direct visual reference. The key difference lies in the presence or absence of recognizable imagery.
When a work of art shows no reference to the natural world of images, it is referred to as "non-representational" or "abstract" art. This type of art emphasizes forms, colors, and textures without depicting recognizable objects or scenes. It allows for personal interpretation and emotional expression, focusing on the elements of art itself rather than on external subjects.

Yes, unrealistic art exists as a concept, often characterized by styles that deviate from representational accuracy. This can include abstract, surreal, or fantastical elements that prioritize emotion, expression, or conceptual ideas over realistic depiction. Such art challenges viewers to engage with the work on a more subjective level, prompting interpretations that go beyond traditional realism. Ultimately, the distinction between realistic and unrealistic art lies in the artist's intention and the viewer's perception.

Representational art consists of pictures that depict some recognizable thing or scene. It includes portraits, still lifes, and landscapes. It is includes both realist art, which attempts to reproduce the actual appearance of the things depicted, or an idealization thereof, and expressionist art, which depicts recognizable things, but in a way that incorporates an emotional reaction to them, without attempting literal reproduction of their appearance. Leonardo's "Mona Lisa" and Munch's "The Scream" are both representational, the one realistic, the other expressionistic. Representational art contrasts with abstract art.
No. A still life does not, a non-representational painting does not.
Abstract art. Pictures that do not look like anything in particular.
