Welcome
To our Class
Welcome to our vibrant 8º1ª classroom, where learning takes flight and every day is an adventure!
In our class, we embrace diversity, curiosity, and collaboration. Each student brings their unique talents, perspectives, and experiences, enriching our learning journey together. In our inclusive environment everyone feels like being valued and empowered to succeed.
Our teacher assigned us a project work related to Land Art. That was something different! :)
We began by exploring the concept of Land Art, researching for different artists who have created land art installations and explored their techniques, styles, and the messages conveyed through their artwork.
This research inspired us to create our own example of Land Art using natural materials found in our surroundings.
The last step of our project was to present it to our classmates, sharing experiences, challenges, and discoveries.
We were all encouraged to reflect on the relationship between art, nature, and the environment.
Here you can have a look at what we did!

A Line Made By Walking Richard Long, 1967
Loading...
It's difficult to talk about what this piece of art
depicts and what its objective is, considering it wasn’t a thought-out piece, the artist simply walked back and forth in a straight line and took a photo of the result.
However, this piece holds a very important
meaning in both the artist's life and the history of land art; it sparked the artist's interest in artwork made mostly by walking (A Walking And Running Circle (2003), A LIne And
Tracks In Bolivia (1981), etc…), and it's considered one of the most important early work in Land Art history.
The main concept of this piece is that art can be made by simply walking, and that's why I like this piece so much. I think that it’s such a beautiful thing that human's impact on and connection with nature, even if it’s made by something as meaningless as walking, can be
considered art.

Wrapped
L’Arc de Triomphe
L'Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped, a temporary artwork for Paris, was on view for 16 days from Saturday, September 18 to Sunday, October 3, 2021. The Arc de Triomphe was wrapped in 25,000 square meters of recyclable polypropylene fabric in silvery blue, and with 3,000 meters of red rope.

This legendary work of art was a monumental art
installation that transformed one of Paris's most iconic
landmarks.
The idea of wrapping L’Arc de Triomphe dates back to
1962, when this couple of artists were living near this
landmark. However, it wasn't until 2017, ten years after
Jeanne-Claude's passing, that Christo announced the
realization of the project, wrapping L’Arc de Triomphe in
25,000 sq m of silvery-blue polypropylene fabric and red
rope.
Even though there are no public explanations, I think the
reason why they built this work of art wasn’t to alert
people of global warming or climate change, even if the
fabric used for wrapping was recyclable, Christo just
wanted to create a unique experience for the viewers,
encouraging them to see a familiar landmark in a new
light.
From my perspective, L’Arc de Triomphe Wrapped, is a
demonstration to the power of art and temporariness, as the wrapped monument stood for a limited time, leaving a lasting impression on those who experienced it.

MY LAND ART
From what I’ve learnt, Land Art or Earth Art
started in the 1960’s, it was part of another type of art, conceptual art.
Land Art is associated with an emergent
ecological movement, but that is another type of art called Environmental art, which is a form of art
that forces us to think about the consequences of
our choices on the planet.
In my opinion, Land Art is a form of art made
directly in the landscape, sculpting the land itself
into earthworks or making structures in the
landscape using natural materials. I believe that
Land Art was a movement centered around the
rejection of commercialization of art works, and
the rejection of urban living.

Robert Smithson
Robert Smithson's purpose was to interact with changing conditions of the surrounding water, land, and atmosphere. The reddish coloration of the water, caused by the high presence of microbes, initially attracted Smithson to the northern arm of the lake.
I think he wanted to do different art in a different place, also presenting important topics. The artwork also symbolizes the tension between industrial growth and nature preservation.

We think land art is a way for artists to get out of their
comfort zone and show art in places where everyone
who passes by can see it.

Our creation of Land Art
We were inspired by old images and the nature around us.
We used some paper and flowers to do our small scale land art.
