Project Evaluation

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.
