I will start off by doing some market research as what is considered to make people most happy and what people think is most beautiful about themselves, And ways in which I could evoke these emotions and objects through my own work. I will do so by asking many people where I live and my friends, and possibly too looking into past research across the globe, and if what we see as beautiful is dependent on our culture and how much money and wealth we grew up with. This could also be 5 questions in relation to beauty and happiness. These questions will be
1.How would you describe beauty?
1st person: an individual idea that is a cliches within the eye of the beholder. 2nd: It is a construct of an individuals happiness. 3rd: something you personally believe to be over exceptional a personal belief 4th: well… specific to a person and what makes someone happy.
2. What or who is the most beautiful person of thing you have ever seen?
1st person: I believe the most beautiful thing I have ver seen is a new born baby, and puppies, innocent new life, something which is full of hope. 2nd: I think…the most beautiful things are the masters of art and architecture. 3rd: A landscape an idealistic landscape 4th: in a landscape the sun, nice weather , a reflection of happiness, you feel happier
3.What brings you happiness?
1st person: living in the moment, the comfort of my family and the stimulation of books. 2nd: Living without stress. 3rd: food, art my friends and sleeping 4th: music pop and a singalong
4.Where is the one place across the world that brings you the most joy and why?
1st person: Jersey, it is home and if it is beautiful, I love jersey. 2nd: being at home in jersey. 3rd: my grandparent house in France 4th: Corbier, it was were my pops used to visit form the age of 19-79
5.what are you most grateful for?
1st person; I am most grateful for love. 2nd: Health 3rd: being born into a privileged society. 4th; family friends and opportunities.
This is not only an insight to the subjectivity once again of the fine art of beauty, but the imagination of each individual mind. Due to the results from this, I believe people in jersey especially are able to see their privilege and do not take for granted, they love landscape new life innocence and health, to my mind they have perfectly described what theatre of life describes, they turn personal connections and emotions into locations. Also something which I find very interesting is that no one said beauty is people, most people associate within a landscape something they love or an experience, and I think this allows myself to see I am working in the right direction.
