Obviously earth art is the combination of art and the earth, where the earth is used as the artistic medium. When I first started to think about earth art, I thought mainly of larger, man-made pieces, such as Stonehenge and crop circles. But when thinking about it further, I realized that it doesn’t have to touched by human hands to be considered art. As corny as it sounds, mother nature is an artist: take for instance snowflakes. They’re beautiful, and there are no two that are the same. I think that’s art.
On the other hand, earth art that isn’t natural can take all different forms. It can range from arranging stones, to carving trees, all the way to certain forms of architecture (i.e., log cabins). I personally believe that as long as long as the earth is used in some manner, its earth art.
