If you ask someone what they think makes art so special, they are likely to tell you that it is the creative aspect and the sensual aspect of art that makes it so special. This is true and makes sense too but one of the things that makes art so wonderful to so many according to us, is the fact that it has no limits or limitations. We don’t know whether you agree with us or not, but we are planning to make a convincing case of this point in this article. In this article, we are going to be talking about art that is larger than life in the sense that instead of limiting itself to a canvas or a particular material it is using land or natural features to showcase the creativity of the artist. We are talking about land art installations in this article. It is only when you look at these stunning land art installations will you realize that these are immense works of art that seem to own the land on which they have been made without dominating them. This is probably due to the fact that the land is part of the art as much as the art is part of the land and one could not imagine one without the other once one has seen it.

It is not like the heart-warming winter landscapes that will melt the chill around you in some ways but similar in other ways. In some instances, you will see that these fascinating land art installations are really complex and technically challenging not to mention a lot of effort but in others the art is depicted so simply that you will marvel that you did not think of something similar yourself. It is not like superb landscape art to keep the outdoors with you at all times with a lesser scope space wise but with more scope in terms of efforts.

Fascinating Land Art Installations

The nature of land art installations is such that you will find that there is no set limit for the scope of it. You may find yourself inspired to some land art installations of your own in a little space like a garden that you have in front of your home or could encompass huge bits of land and other natural features. The thing is that there is nothing right or wrong when it comes to land art installations and this is why do not be surprised if you come across some that have not used any technology at all and some works of land art installations that are heavily dependent on technology to make it work.

Ranging from land art installations that create the illusion of defying gravity to something that seems to have mystical connotations, there is a large scope when it comes to land art installations. If you are looking to do something in this line of work, we suggest that you spend some time studying the way ancient and primitive tribes that are close to nature go about making their natural features more beautiful without changing anything. They have this incredible talent of taking what nature has to offer like trees, stones, etc. and adding a lot of beauty to them with just a few creative twists. You have to realize that to do land art installations you need creative thinking and dexterity but this may be different from having core art skills like painting, drawing, sculpting, etc.

You also have to realize that while some land art installations have a permanence about them, there are some that are not meant to be around forever. This may seem disappointing but many artists tend to view it as an opportunity to stretch their creativity and imagination to come up with newer and more innovative ideas every time.

As with other works of art, land art installations come in all sizes, scopes and with different degrees of complexity. This can make them more interesting and also ensure that more people can get into this kind of art.
