Land art is a form of art that is done on a landscape by using materials that is created in nature. Some of these materials include soil, rock, branches, leaves and water. This type of art exist in the open, far away from civilization. The picture above is called the Spiral Jetty, created by Robert Smithson, it is 1500 ft long and is located in northern Utah, it is one of the most famous pieces of land art up to date. One negative aspect of this form of art is that they are not preserved, the artworks are left to erode and change under natural conditions. So in the next few decades, the Spiral Jetty may look completely different, or worse, it might not even be there anymore.
I think art made from nature can be really pretty. And the fact that art made from nature doesn't last long relates to how nature is always changing, and isn't permanent. But this can give us an opportunity to create new artwork and come up with new designs.
ReplyDeleteThis is an interesting form of art. It reminds me of the crop circles that people made in England. These extremely large designs that are man-made look very impressive.
