Our perspective of Land Art
Land Art was seen in class from the perspective of making an intervention in a open space, using big dimensions in scale, and having materials that interact in some way with natural resources.
Some of the Artistic References used in class were:
Christo and Jean Claude
Robert Smithson
Walter de Maria
Applying our
pedagogical strategy
• ABCT Model Activities:
1. Tech Tool Workshop
2. Creation Lab # 1
3. Artist Lounge
4. Art Discovery Journal
5. Written Workshop
6. Creation Lab # 2
7. Creation Lab # 3
8. Tech- Studio
9. Cultural Experience
10. Art Network
Steps from the ABCT Model
• Step 1: Tech-Tool Workshop
Students recieve a short lecture on “What is
Land Art”. A power point presentation is the
tool used in this excercise.
• Step 2: Creation Lab # 1
Teacher hands out printed pictures of an
open space in Bogotá. Students draw a
utopic Land Art project and insert it in the
picture. Concepts of SCALE and SPACE are
introduced.
• Step 3: Artist Lounge
Show the students different Land Art projects
made by recognized artists, in this case,
concentrating on:
a. Christo and Jean Claude
b. Robert Smithson
c. Walter de Maria
Step 4: Art Discovery Journal
Answer 3 questions:
a. What did I know about Land Art?
b. What did I learn in class ?
c. How am I going to apply this
knowledge on a personal project?
• Step 5: Written Workshop
Planning of the project in groups:
a. Intention (It had to be related to the “Basic
Learning Conditions” at school)
b. Materials
c. Place
d. Dimensions
e. Budget
f. Sketches from 2 perspectives
• Step 6: Creation Lab # 2
Students draw their project proposal using soft pastels.
• Step 7: Creation Lab # 3
Students make their Land Art Project.
• Step 8: Tech-Studio
a. Students use either film or photography to
register the making of the project.
b. Students are asked to edit the registered
material into a 2-4 minute video on Movie
Maker or iMovie. The video must include:
music, images, information about materials
and conceptual purpose.
• Step 9: Cultural Experience
Each group presents their video to the whole
class in the auditorium.
• Step 10: Art Network
Students upload their Land Art project videos
to a common you tube account that the
teacher gives them. It is a way of socializing all
the projects with the other classmates of the
10th grade.
