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.

  1. Take your idea and run with it. You have given some good reflections on beauty and how it has been represented. I am looking forward to seeing how your project comes along in the end. Have you thought about any photo editing software that might help you enhance your photos. Gimp is a free program that is on your computers at school and can be downloaded for free if you don't have it at home. http://www.gimp.org/

    You may have photoshop or some other software as well but I thought I would mention Gimp because it is free and it is on your computers at school.
