What is Earth Art??

I think earth art is everywhere. It is all about the interpretation of the things you see. Some earth art is created with natural materials: rocks, dirt, trees, sand, or water. This is a great use of the land and what nature has to offer. I think the most inspirational earth art is the type that is not created by man. It is the art that is created by the colors of the world and the materials of the earth. Weather patterns and natural phenomena are some of the greatest artists known to man. They create the most interesting and remarkable pieces of work. Through erosion, volcanoes, hurricanes, and tornados the earth is transformed producing masterpieces. Artists are able to capture these unique scenes which speak to the masses about the beauty and mystery of nature. I think that now, more than ever, the importance of earth art is huge because with the trends ‘going green’ and ‘save the world’ everywhere people are more likely to stop and see the beauty that lies in earth art.
