Practice-led researcher in the field of Art & Design usually requires practitioners to analyse their creative practice and to investigate the processes that are research components and the responsable elements that helps to flourish new knowledge. This brings ethnography to the spotlight, and Pace (2012, p.2) states that “gaining momentum as a research method within the creative and performing arts, partly because of the opportunity it provides for writers, artists, performers and others to reflect critically upon their personal and professional creative experiences.”
Landspace and authoethnography
This research seeks to discover a personal experience, a unique relationship between the researcher’s self and land codified in an image, presented through an evocative authoethnographic photowriting narrative . It is concerned with an evocative form of the methodology because it focuses with the photographers’ experience in the land, and according to “evocative autoethnography aims toward researchers’ introspection on a particular topic to allow readers to make a connection with the researchers’ feelings and experiences.
It asks the potential of photographs to represent a bond between the photographer’ s self and the land with photographic texts that

God has created the world beautifully by making the combination of many natural colors, and other things. The images of the natural work of art and animals address the reality of the life as how it begins and at what stage we are now. To create your better understanding the book “Exploring Art: A Global Thematic Approach” written by “Margaret Lazzari, Dona Schlesier” has highlighted the principles and importance of the art work by relating it to the past working of art and modern work of the artists. It increases the level of understanding of the viewers and makes it easy to give their opinions on the situation or concerns addresses in the
An individual’s perspective is influenced and shaped by an experience of a landscape in which the representation of one’s mindset (in the text) leads to varied understanding this prompts insightful individuality. Exploring the notion that the impact of landscapes on individuals is diverse and that the composers are able to manipulate the audiences understanding of one’s identity. Alain de Botton, in his multimodal non-fiction text the Art of Travel effectively explores through personal anecdotes and colloquial language that an environment is a catalyst for change, thus an individual’s sense of identity is always profound. Additionally, Emily Bronte the author of Wuthering Heights successfully conveys through imagery and symbolism the grandeur
Barry Lopez’s essay, “A Literature of Place,” describes the wonders that mesmerize people and make them feel “at home” or at peace. Debating the issue of the appreciation of earth’s fascinations, Lopez argues against capitalism and suggests natives appreciate nature much more
Artists aim to construct representation of people and landscapes, exploring this idea through an array of texts types to illustrate the collective human experience; exalting literatures capability to evoke the human psyche as it derives supreme gratification to the individual. This capacity was praised by Maryanne Wolf believing that literature is ‘connecting information to your own background knowledge and helping you form yours own creative thoughts’ thus allowing the composer to provide provocative and diverse insights through the people and landscapes generated. However, this principle isn’t confined to literature; instead, it applies to a multitude of text types as artistic works evoke the subjective view of the individual which Ralph
The interpretation of the photographs communicates to the viewer or the reader on the elements, brought out in their own set of ideological assumption and experiences in the base of personal experiences. The images are in the form of visual auto ethnography that dialectic the levels of signification or connotation, (Ownby, 2011a, p. 138).
I look forward to fully immersing myself into the Spanish culture and spending time outside of class with other students from around the world. Sharing our experiences and learning to adapt to new surroundings will deepen my understanding of different cultures. As an artist, Spain’s great architecture and landscapes are quite inspiring and I am looking to further develop my sketching and digital art, and photography while visiting neighboring cities. The tools that I have gathered- patience, courage, resilience, and curiosity- will aid in building an unforgettable
The method by which understanding of art can grow is through “the development of intuitive perception and discrimination” and “the handing on of authoritative knowledge;” sharpening the “senses of the soul” being the main purpose (Josef Albers). Pure perception rather than expression both drives and defines true artistic projects.
I always told myself I wasn't going to be like them. They were telling me one thing, but I wanted something completely different. At least that's what my 12 year old, indecisive brain thought. I was young, and of course I didn't want to do what people said. I changed my mind every three days, but I was adamant, I wasn't going to listen to them.
I have had the opportunity to travel to foreign countries such as Iran, England, and Turkey. I feel this has allowed me to garner first hand experience with a vast array of landscapes and defining features of each area. Fluency in Farsi deepened my understanding of how cultural and political traits manipulate varying forms of landscapes. My passion for diverse forms of art media has developed
The first photo is of my wellness poaster. We had a worksheet with nine things on it like smoking one cigarette a day, and we had to write if they were very healthy or very unhealthy. After we got that done we had to make up six other ones (three healthy and three unhealthy).
Throughout the history of contemporary art and photography, there has been several different themes and ideas that have been explored. Photography allows viewers of one’s work to develop an individual’s own options and observations.Allan Sekula was known to be one of the most outstanding Marxist intellectuals of his generation. He Sekula, photographer, writer, and filmmaker is interested in photographing main themes such as large economic systems, geographies, and capitalism. Sekula has produced several photo series that revolves around this theme In the discussion of this paper, I will discuss and introduce his exploration of land, trade/labor, and people through the use of minimalism and historical, aesthetic and literal connections within maritime based cities. After doing through research, Sekula practiced critical realism which is seen through his photo series from Fish Story and The Forgotten Place.
I usually take only one shoot during photography, without giving myself the second chance. Sounds like taking film pictures? Yes, it is. To keep pushing shutters doesn't help to make good images, the random shots only make you get something by luck.
Untitled is freighted with untold stories. You feel the gentle breeze along with the heat of the day; the stale grass; the mute mutterings of the wind; and that moment smothered under the weight of its sheer lassitude. This portrait is somewhat less of a person or place but more of a single moment in time. He never has diminished what he sees but somehow enlarges both the trivial and the momentous. By supposing that photography is at its most vibrant when it seeks to understand not just a setting, but a single moment in time; or even just an feeling, or hard-to-place emotion, Eggleston makes the case for photography engaging on a deeper emotional level than simple aesthetics.
* Furthermore, I 've traveled the local rural back serene country roads, for a delightful photo-shooting session of the diverse natural beauty of stunning scenic landscapes with its overhead skies conveying various changeable information, depicting with its dramatic chatoyant decorative dazzling cloud formations, accompanied with its numerous irregular weather conditions. Along with advancing across those vast, magnificent rolling farmlands, and their vintage historic antique wooden barns and weathered, dilapidated grayish rustic woodsheds. That especially positively invigorates and, truly captures my attention and indeed awareness. Thus, pausing for those precious few minutes. Upon, deeply feeling the mystic spirit and the melodramatic harmonious rhythm of these spectacular theatrical
