What's A Landscape?

My plan for this project is to figure out what does the word landscape mean? Originating from the Dutch word, landschap, landscape was later used in the English language. Interestingly enough, with a lag of 34 years between landscape being brought to the US and used within the language it suggests that landscape was first defined in paintings and then people viewed one in real life. My mission is that within the next week I will be able to get several definitions from several sources on what a landscape is and photograph that definition to create a visual definition. All of this is in order for me to understand why landscapes are so "boring" and "lacking creativity" and why the idea of a project involving shooting and image was never apparent. We shall see what the results suggest! -Exciting-
