Landscape

Landscape painting has been developed and pursued by many over the centuries. Think back to the dawn of civilization, cavemen were painting murals upon the cave walls of the nature that surrounding him and the animals that habituated. The term "landscape" derives from the Dutch word landschap, which originally meant "region, tract of land" but acquired the artistic connotation, "a picture depicting scenery on land" in the early 1500s (American Heritage Dictionary, 2000). All my life, I have lived

Patrick White’s novel, Voss (1957) tells the story of a nineteenth-century German explorer’s journey into the Australian landscape. In this essay, I will examine the attitudes and assumptions towards the Australian landscape over the past 200+ years, and evaluate what has changed in these contexts. Attitudes can depend on many cultures, these cultures can differentiate depending on things such as gender, attitude to the outdoors, individuality, conquest, religion, being urban or rural and drought

Landscape edging adds to the curb appeal of a home, yet it does much more than this. It helps to differentiate various parts of the yard, ensure grass does not encroach on a garden and eliminates the need to trim the edges of the landscape. To obtain the most from this decorative item, however, homeowners need to various options available to them. Lawn and garden edging comes in many sizes, shapes and sizes. Each type has its advantages and disadvantages that must be weighed before purchase. Furthermore

go somewhere you’ve never gone. Poets have always used their language, tone, and devices to transport their reader to see a new and different perspective on key aspects of society. One distinct example of this, is the depiction of the Australian landscape which is expressed from varying perspectives in different poems, including John Tranter’s Backyard, Jill Jones’s Transformations in a City Block, and Dorothea Mackellar’s My Country. Tranter has expressed the suburban scenery, with which a majority

Architecture, People and Landscape     The idea of being able to walk on top of the building is something that does not happen a lot. Connecting the public to the building should be more than just creating a fascinating and interesting facade. My idea is to describe how a building is able to connect to the people, by allowing them to not just walk inside or around but on top of the building creating a public space within. The reason why I chose this topic is that I wanted to make a connection to

specifically within nature and landscapes, concerns itself with representing a dark scene that usually shows the uncontrollable power of nature. ‘The focus on storms as moments when the sleepy grandeur of nature is stirred up… arouses the inner force of the subject… and laid the groundwork of the sublime tradition’. (B.Beckley, 2001) This became my main area of focus for my work; to create a series of paintings showing the power and unpredictability of nature over a landscape. In my previous project

The landscape depicts ruins from the Italian countryside and is part of a set of four paintings depicting different times of day. I chose this particular landscape because I enjoyed the feelings of hope and optimism that the painting inspires out of the viewer. My second piece

I believe this statement to be true that landscapes are reflections of the societies that create them. I have read and analysed many articles which have clearly reflected this and a quote by Pierce Lewis which I feel is needed to start off my discussion says that ‘landscape is something to be looked at, but seldom thought about’ (Lewis, 1979, p.1). This statement made me start to really think about landscape and how we must look further than what just meets the naked eye. From my readings I have
