Another topic in this week\u2019s lecture that was interesting to me was the discussion on land art, and whether it is permanent or not, as well as how art of this form can be moving. When doing further research on this topic, I came across an article about the \u201cTroublemakers,\u201d artists who challenged the modern art world and brought contemporary art outside gallery walls. In the 1960s and 1970s, this group of artists came together and abandoned the confines and limitations of museum and gallery space. They instead used the earth as their canvas. This statement, \u201cThe earth as a canvas,\u201d is so powerful to me. It inspires me to want to use the earth in a way that can emphasis the vastness of space to create something great. I think another interesting characteristic of land art is that it has the ability to become a spectacle because of how vast it can become. This land art causes us to rethink what art can be and where it belongs, something I think is necessary in today\u2019s world of ever-changing mediums.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
