LAND ART (EARTWORKS, OR EARTH ART)
Robert Smithson (1938-73) - determined to
heighten public awareness of Man's relationship
with the natural world by intervening in the
landscape in a series of thought-provoking
constructions.
Land-based interventions or artworks took a variety
of forms, from large-scale land artworks like man-
made curtains reaching across vast stretches of
landscape, the encirclement of whole islands in
colored fabric, and reshaped waterways and
volcanoes, to simple lines of footprints in the earth.
PURPOSE
Create an artistic imagery using
earth, rocks, soil and other
natural material, with a view to
increasing our sensibility
towards our environment.
Land art urges us to examine
our relationship with the
landscape and with nature.

that is considered to be the most
important work of American sculptor
Robert Smithson. Smithson
documented the construction of the
sculpture in a 32-minute color film
also titled Spiral Jetty.
EARTHSCAPES
Calling upon geometric and free-form shapes,
artist Andres Amador’s Earthscapes are
patterns drawn in the sand. His first Land art
piece took shape on Ocean Beach in San
Francisco
3 in 2004, and its fleeting beauty was
captured on camera just before the tide
washed it away. He has since created
hundreds of Earthscapes around the world.
Amador hopes that his designs will remind
other artists to bring back joy in their work.
Thank
You!
