So, I have never been artistically inclined myself, but I can appreciate art. Enjoy it. Learn from it. Try my best at producing some of my own. We all have our own interpretations, all add our own unique flavors. We all think about art differently. It makes us feel something. We can get lost gazing at a painting and say it is truly beautiful, or listen to a song and feel emotionally compelled to cry. We admire the power an artist has on their captive audience.
The Earth is an artist. Through processes untouched by human hands, the world creates masterpieces we as humans can only begin to appreciate. There is no greater beauty than the world in which we live. All around us are examples of artwork we couldn't even dream of creating. It is unique, it makes us feel something, it captivates us. A simple sunset can inspire poems and prose from our heads. The colors can inspire an artist to take what Mother Earth provided and try to recreate its affect on paper. The real art is out there for us to witness. No human intermediate required.
There is art created using the resources provided by the Earth. In clay sculptures, brick buildings, and marble statues. The Earth is used to create something wonderous. In the paint, in the glue, in the pencil - the Earth is involved in the creation. It may not be the artist, but it provides the tools and means for production. Still, what exactly is Earth art? I say, for the moment, art created by the Earth, without human interaction.
They say no two snowflakes are exactly alike. For something so small to be so intricate in detail, is truly remarkable. The world around us, our Earth, our planet, is full of amazing works of wonder. We have only to open our eyes to see them.
