Earth art: to most people, it is defined as art of the earth. Artists arranging nature and the environment to send some sort of message or express creativity. These definitions are, for the most part, correct. I intended to develop my skills by sending a message with my artwork. However, I will leave my message up to interpretation. What does my artwork represent? Someone unique among a crowd? Someone surrounded by hardships of life, represented by weeds? Maybe someone spent a few minutes arranging some torn-up plants around a flower? All of these are possible messages.
I explored the different plant life available to me while creating my earth artwork. My parents enjoy gardening, so I figured that I had a lot at my disposal. I looked around and saw patches of weeds, so I figured that I should help rid the garden of them and create artwork at the same time. I had no idea what I would do with just crumpled-up pieces of garden weed arranged in a circle (wouldn't deliver as much of a message), so I decided to add a flower in the middle. Overall, I kept my earthwork simple, but still complex enough to send some sort of message. I feel like this represents uniqueness in society somewhat. As individuals, we are all different from each other (but not largely different). Most of the time, we're all distinguishable from each other. I also believe this is the case with our artwork. Someone may create something incredibly complex, and another person may arrange something simple.
