Land Art as an Art for Kids. Interview with Richard Shilling

Have you ever heard of such kind of art as Land Art

What is Land Art?

It involves making art and sculptures using materials you find in nature, such as leaves, fir cones, twigs, pebbles, rocks, sand and shells. Usually, sculptures are not placed in the landscape, rather, the landscape is the means of their creation.

How is Land Art connected to the subject of Parents’ Ideas?

Land Art can add so much fun, beauty and positive emotions into the process of the child's upbringing. Moreover, it can unite children and adults when they create "as equals" contributing to each others' ideas and learning from each other and from nature.

When creating art and sculptures among nature both children and adults: 

  • notice the beauty of "usual" things such as, for example, leaves covered with hoarfrost, icicles illuminated by the sun rays, stones on the beach, etc;
  • use their imagination, get some fresh air and learn all about nature and cycles of life;
  • play and explore at the same time.

Today we are very honoured to introduce you Richard Shilling, an English land artist, sculptor, photographer and film-maker who has recently published the first of a series of Land Art for Kids books in partnership with Julia Brooklyn.
