Answer 1

Earth artists

"

earth art and earthworks - Earth art (also called "land art") refers to a movement of artists with wide ranging goals, but all created in nature, employing such materials as stones, dirt, and leaves. "Earthworks" is the same movement. Most works are sculptural. Earthworks often refer to phenomena such as the slow process of erosion or to the movement of planets or stars, especially the sun. Many earthworks are intended to help us to better understand nature. Some demonstrate the inherent differences between nature and civilization, often pointing out artists' desires to understand, conquer, and control natural processes.

During the late 1960s and early 1970s art began to move outdoors from galleries. Some earthworks have been small enough to be gallery pieces, but many involve huge land masses, as did Michael Heizer's Nine Nevada Depressions, 1968: big, curved and zigzagging trenches, like abstract doodles on the earth, placed intermittently over a span of 520 miles. Another example is the 1970 piece by Robert Smithson (American, 1938-1973) titled Spiral Jetty, which extended 1500 feet into the Great Salt Lake, though today it can be witnessed only through documentation.

I believe it's quite a beautiful way of expressing yourself. I wish I were better with drawing! As a writer I can tell you that there are some things that cannot be fully explained by words alone. I sometimes find it hard to really put my ideas down on paper. I'd say you have a lot more freedom and expression, and it's fantastic. Words usually only have one meaning in a story, but a picture can mean a thousand. It's a good tool if you want the reader to actually be where YOU want them to be. There's a limit to how well you can describe a certain place or certain idea, and then the readers imagination takes over. With the help of pictures, they see what you want them to see. LOL omg... reality TV? Sorry I think I'm a little off topic. My answer was a direct reply to "would you (like me) rather read a Graphic Novel", and I thought you were asking if we appreciated the artists and writers of Graphic Novels.
