Moonriver Lodge, Sigar Highlands
FOR OUR CHILDREN'S CHILDRENArt In Nature Holiday Programme
Introduction to ART in NATURE
For over 70,000 years, human beings have been engaged with the environment and the land artistically. During the late 1960s and early 1970s, artsists moved art outdoors from the galleries to engage the environment. Today, land artists such as Andy Goldsworthy and Wolfgang Laib have moved Land Art into the gallery using materials from the environment to transform the interior space.
As an underexposed contemporary art form in Singapore, Land Art is an intriguing way to engage with nature and the public. Singaporeans identify with the urban landscape, as such, we will work towards stepping out of our comfort zones with materials such as water and light, earth, sand, grass and other natural or found materials.
Our aim is to invite ourselves and viewers of the artworks created to slowdown and contemplate the beauty and mystery of nature. Participants will learn how they can explore concepts through the use of natural materials. We hope to provide an experience of life by seeing and exploring the natural forces of the world and its multitude of connections and to more fully integrate that consciousness into our lives.
