Trip Report: Due Thursday following each trip. Field Trip assignment
In D.W. Meinig’s article, The Beholding Eye: Ten Versions of the Same Scene, he identifies ten meanings of a common landscape. The particular meaning of the landscape perceived by one individual or another may be influenced by a variety of factors, such as culture or education, and may, in turn, influence perceptions or judgments about the use or management of a given landscape.
Chose one of the places we visit in the field trip and, using Meinig’s ten landscapes as a guide, identify what you believe could be the primary meaning of the landscape. Also, identify one possible secondary meaning of the landscape. What about the place causes you to perceive those meaning? What might the implications be of having two people perceive the same landscape in or another of the ways you identified?
Your response should be limited to 1 page, 10-point Times New Roman font, 1.5 spaced, 1” margins around.
