Environment As Art
Environment As Art
Description:
Christo and Jeanne-Claude's, Robert Smithson's, and James Turrell's art all have one thing in common - the environment. This lesson takes the students through the proposal processes involved with making environmental art by briefly studying the above artists via video and Web activities. Each student will create an idea for an environmental artwork for installation somewhere on school property. The student will develop and examine their idea through research, sketches, diagrams, drawings, and models. Finally, each student will compose a proposal package for their environmental artwork idea that is constructed of a written description of the artwork, including his/her intentions of expression, how the artwork engages the environment, and the research results, along with the sketches, diagrams, drawings, and models of his/her conceptualized artwork.
