Week 3 - Lecture

In this week’s lecture we navigated through various ideas revolving around picturesque exploring fundamental ideas which were raised such as symmetry.  This was done by establishing the concept between planned vs nature, this was seen by artists as they combated the romantic notion that the nature in the environment should be perceived as “nature as it should be”. This was interesting because rather create something majestic and beautiful the artists made a random more realistic stand on landscapes in reality rather than it being completely symmetrical. The picturesque of the Liu garden was personally really interesting to me because the landscape works around the much aquatic based environments where water holds spiritual qualities.
