My idea of what beauty is is nature and life in nature and how it is everywhere and it is such a big part of my life and the Canadians culture. I have chosen to represent my idea of beauty in visual arts in the form of photograph I have chosen photography because I really like photograph and how I can use it to represent my idea of beauty in nature. I have also seen many cool picture and styles that I wanted try.
The process I went through creating my visual representation of natures beauty started with knowing I wanted to do some kind of photography to represent my idea of beauty. I also knew I wanted to use parts of nature. So I just went out a one day and started taking pictures of parts of nature and things I thought would look cool in my project. Then I did a bit more research on different style of photography, new ways to edit a picture, or take some pictures then I went out again and took some more pictures. I also went through some of my older pictures I had taken of nature and picked out some ones I like and thought I could use in this project because I knew I couldn't get pictures of lots of Canadian nature but i had older photos of other parts of nature I could use.
Key elements in my creation were plants and landscapes in Canadian nature. The pictures I took represent my idea of beauty and the beauty of Canada's nature and how its everywhere and even the littlest parts of our nature are so beautiful and how it represents us as a culture in Canada.
My thought process during my transformation was is this going to work or look good. Am I going to get good picture that represent Canada's nature in a good way. Are the pictures I take going to show what I’m trying to represent with nature. Will people see the same beauty I see in the pictures that I have taken. Will they understand where I'm coming from with the pictures I have taken.
There were many things that worked and lots that didn't work as well. It was hard to get some pictures to work how I wanted them to. I had to take many pictures of some of the things I wanted to use to represent my idea of beauty from different angles or viewing points to make them work good. I did a lot of trial and error in most of my picture i took in tell I got them to work or look good or how I wanted them to look.
I did like the technique for the most part because I like photograph and I liked massing around with pictures and taking pictures in tell I got pictures that I like and and wanted to use also pictures that would show the beauty of nature in a way I wanted them to.
Some problems I encountered in this process were not having the parts of nature I wanted to photograph available to me. Also with getting the pictures to work how I wanted them to and show I’m idea of beauty in them. I messed around a lot with them editing them and changing them to make them look better.
I over came my problems by trying different ideas and ways of representing my art.
Some possible solutions I entertain were just trying different thing and ways of taking picture or editing them to make them look good and show the main idea of beauty I was trying to get across in my photos.
Some of the activities that where involved with my project were looking at other picture of nature and just cool styles of pictures that I liked, I looked at other interesting ways of representing my idea of beauty with photography. i went a researched many pictures of nature other artist did to get some ideas of when work and what didn't work with some pictures.

Stop and Reflect
1. Stop and reflect on how the plan is working. If you are having problems with creating your visual representation.
-I know in my head how I want some of my photos to turn out, I'm just having trouble representing them and getting them to look right.
2. If you are having some troubles with your project you will need to brainstorm some possible solutions.
-I can take more pictures and keep messing around with different styles, angles and colors to try to get them to look how I would like them to and to represent my idea of beauty.
3. Once you have some ideas for problem solving, go back to the original intention, and ask yourself: Do you want to change your intention, or do you want to stick with your original idea?
-I think I want to stick with my original plan because I really like photography and how I can use it to represent my idea of beauty, I just have to mess around a bit more to get the right pictures I'm looking for.
4. Make a decision about which proposed solutions are most appropriate for the situation.
-I think I’m going to stick with my first idea and just keep trying to mess around with different styles of pictures and colors and stuff in tell i get the pictures I’m looking for. I think it will just take a bit of trial and error to get it right.

Project Plan
Format- What visual art form and media will you use to explore your ideas?
I like photography and I have some cool ideas for ways to photograph nature and show its beauty so I want to use photography to show my visual art.
Intent of the work- What are the ideas you wish to explore in the work?
Ideas I want to explore with this work are different styles of photograph work with different viewing points and angles also with colors like black and white to make parts of the photo standout more then others to show its many parts of beauty.
Research- Examples of research or background information used for inspiration in the art work. Some background information I used for inspiration was other picture of nature and cool styles of photograph, different ways of make parts in a picture stand out more then others, and cool pictures that I could use the same style to represent my image of beauty.
Begin Working
Analysis- At several points during the development of your art work, consider how you might use the elements, principles and images to communicate meaning. Consider the following: The images, line, colour, texture, shape, form, balance, rhythm, emphasis, variety, contrast, proportion, harmony, unity.
Reflection- reflect upon how your art work developed or changed from your original idea or intention. my original idea or intentions have not change over working on my art that much but they have changed from how I want the pictures to look and the style I want to use they changed because I started messing around with different was of doing things and I found I like some ways more then ways I was trying before.

Defining the Problem
At this point in the process you will be required to define the problem or rather, explain the idea of beauty that you are going to try to recreate visually.
I am going to try to visually recreate the beauty of nature in Canadains life and why it is so impotent to us as Canadians with our wonderful wildlife and amazing landscapes, I want to represent why it is such a big part of your lives and how it represents us as Canadians and how it is a large part of our culture.

Beauty Research Assignment
My idea of beauty has been represented by the world around me and by the stereo typical image of beauty of what other people and artists say and think is beautiful. My idea of beauty has changed over time from the typical beauty to now changing into my own views of beauty not what other people think beauty is to now what I think beauty is. beauty in our culture is represented by the very typical image of beauty. Beauty in our culture is very important we value the image of beauty in people, But now the image of beauty is changing from the typical image to many other images and is becoming less important in the view of people. The image of beauty in our environment is also very important we value our environment and the beauty of nature. In other cultures the image of beauty is very different, the image of beauty in people is less valued and the image of beauty in the environment is also less valued. The image of beauty in our culture is very black and white as in other cultures it is less defined. Most cultures art represent things that are beautiful to them about there culture like their traditions, architecture, nature, tribal, Things that are specific to their culture. As with most cultures there are things that represent them
The images of beauty I am interested in using is: Nature because I really enjoy nature and it is very open, there are many different kinda of beauty that you can use and many things you can use to represent it’s beauty like plants, animals, landscapes. I thinking that I want to use plants or landscapes to represent my idea of beauty. Some ways that I am thinking about using to represent my project of beauty is with photograph, and showing the beautiful parts of nature and was our nature is so important I may also other styles of art like paintings, sculptures, and maybe try some others ideas to see what makes it work.
How other artists might represent thier ideas of beauty that I have chosen from my web. Other artists may represent thier idea of the beauty of nature in many other ways then I want to because others may have different idea of the beauty. Also they might like different styles more then I like them styles I may want to represent it in a photo when others would rather show it in a great drawing. Other artists also may represent the idea of beauty in nature differently because there nature may be very different from mine with the different places they may life or the culture they are in, nature could not be as importent and beautiful to them as it is to me. They could represent it’s beauty by a picture of a large forest and I could show it by a picture of a new growing tree creating a new forest. It depends on your personal view of beauty.
