MIDTERM - 2 Question 9 ==> Beautiful vs Kitsch correlated with 'data collection', 'observation', 'abstraction' and 'awareness'

While taking the beautiful vs kitsch photograph, there are several factors which should be considered. Firstly, one has to define what is beautiful and what is kitsch? By researching the meanings of these two terms we were be able to look for beautiful and kitsch in the campus. What we did until finding the correct object is data collecting. We searched for their meanings and tried to find out in which place in the campus we can find the beautiful and the kitsch. Then, when we are well informed enough, we were be able to find the beautiful and the kitsch. While trying to take photos in the campus, distinguishing the beautiful and kitsch from any other objects is observation. Since art may depend on person’s point of view; in photographic art, abstraction is important. We decided on the beautiful and the kitsch according to our thoughts. Maybe we understand some object’s value different than it really is. This is abstraction. And during all this process we have awareness; that we know what we are doing from beginning to end.
