What is Earth Art?
Earth art, also known as Land Art, emerged in the 1960s and 70s as part of the conceptual art movement. It involves creating artworks by sculpting the land or constructing structures in the landscape using natural materials like earth, rocks, or twigs. These works are often large-scale and emphasize the relationship between art and nature.
