The picture I took was during one of my morning walks. The sun was beginning to rise, and its the trees were feeling its rays. This photograph easily connects to the adjective, which describes me. Most people refer to me as compassionate, and that is what the photograph shows. Compassionate means that I can feel others with warmth, and they would like to have me around for long. Similar to the photograph, the sun gives warmth to the trees so that they grow healthy. When you look at the trees, it tells you one thing – all elements of growth are present, including warmth from the sun.

Therefore, when the two elements come together, a connection exists on what one item brings to the other. In my case, I am compassionate that people are fond of me, and on the photograph is the warmth that the sun adds to the growth of plants (trees). Like any other form of art, photos also tell a story where photographers are the tellers of a narrative. One particular aspect which relates to the content and narrative of the photograph is a description. The photograph depicts an entire scene with the reality of the scene that several pages of a written work may fail to capture. Not every individual can see the meaning of art nor the story behind a photograph until the photographer tells them. But once explained, they can realize that the photograph is more than just a photo. It is a story. Therefore, relying on photography to relate content and narrative to the viewer can be employed in cases of description and where a written story is too long. That is the purpose of photographs in literary works. They describe a scene and immerse a viewer into the scene.

The most enjoyable thing about creating art from found objects is freedom. You are free to use anything to increase your creativity because the objects are everywhere. This allows one’s imagination to go deeper because the possibilities and ideas are many. The activity was different from creating art in a classroom in a way that you are your own artist and lecturer at the same time. In class, we are always bound by the limited resources that are available. In the garden, you can use anything you think of. Creating work outside the classroom is an enjoyable experience. First, you are working in nature as opposed to being couped up in the classroom. Outdoors is also a great area when creating an intricate art that requires time to complete. For example, I needed to allow the color layers to dry on the fish I created so that I can apply the objects. I found out that one can use anything around him to complement the art and add to his creativity. To me, this was the most fulfilling thing. Perhaps the most challenging thing I encountered was that the paint was not drying quickly. I started with the yellow undercoat and had to wait for it to dry before applying the blue layer. When I started applying the blue coat, I realized that the yellow layer had not dried off. So there were little patches of yellow and blue forming a shade of green. I also had to wait for the paint to dry before I can add the objects.

Another tricky thing was finding the right objects. Before settling on the fish, I wanted to make a bird, but there were no enough objects to make me complete it, so I settled on the fish. Leaving the artwork behind was a challenging option. I had spent a lot of time on the artwork, and leaving it behind was not fair. In the classroom, you have to keep art for reference as they follow the syllabus being taught. So it is a must to keep them. Classroom art is also graded as opposed to ‘land art.’ if I get another chance I will create more land art

Destination architecture is a type of architecture designed to increase tourism’s value by appealing to the eyes of prospective tourists. A design that evokes visual appeal is considered art. Art and design are two areas that overlap each other. However, when there is no function, then the piece is just a form and nothing more. Therefore, one should consider form and function when the object in question has been deemed as visually appealing by several individuals. From this stage, he or she can focus on giving the purpose of some function (design), to make it a likable form (art).

In the architectural examples in Chapter 13, the function of the buildings is related to the form and structure of the buildings. The design of the buildings is relevant to what purpose they serve in society.

An architectural work becomes a work of art first if it is visually appealing. Next, the work needs to reflect on how people present themselves on the landscape of the earth. Finally, the work needs to follow specific styles and cultural traditions like art do.

This building qualifies as art on three grounds. First, it is visually appealing; second, it reflects how people of the area present themselves on the earth’s landscape. Finally, it represents a specific culture and style because it is unique.
