I think you're taking it too simply. There are a few things we should consider.
1. The mere production of images is not prohibited. "Graven" means that it is worshiped.
2. It is the worship of false gods that is of real concern here, not art.
3. The spiritual message is that putting faith in objects is a waste of time.
Ultimately, it is a reminder of the separation between the physical and spiritual and to not confuse the two.
Graven means carved or sculptured. If you want to produce the original aramaic or greek in the event of a misinterpretation, have at it.
