Environmental Art, Mondrian Journaling Bible


What is Environmental Art?
Environmental Art is an art movement that emerged in the late 60's. You may have heard it called by a few other names- Earth Art, Eco Art, Earthworks or Land Art. Essentially the artist uses the landscape as part of their art. Some are small enough to fit in an art museum, but most are larger scale and become part of the environment. Environmental Art is made from natural materials found outdoors: dirt, leaves, stones/rocks/pebbles, sticks and seeds. Most of the art is ephemeral- it's made to disappear or transform.

Fall is a great season to use nature as your canvas. The leaves are beginning to change colors and it's starting to cool off.  Why not get outside? God has provided unlimited possibilities right outside your door.
