What happens here

Begin by selecting a tree for observation, similar to the one featured in the video (near The Vessel in New York City). The first step is to position yourself to gain a clear, unobstructed view of the tree's entire form. This initial phase involves a general appreciation of the tree's presence and how it integrates into its environment, establishing the 'landscaper's point of view'.

Goal: Select a tree and position for comprehensive aesthetic observation.

Tools and materials

  • Eyes N/A — Visual observation of the tree's form and surroundings
  • Mind/Perception N/A — Processing and interpreting the visual information
  • A Tree N/A — The subject of the aesthetic analysis
