Environmental art is a form of art that emerged in the 1960s when artists were choosing to explore new ways of making art, as well as new places to make it. The art diverged from the traditional idea of an art object, as a painting, drawing or sculpture in an art gallery, to encompass works that were produced out of the gallery in the landscape and urban environments, in many cases using natural materials in the work’s compositions. What emerged from artists’ interests in the environment, is a new form of art, presently referred to as ecological art, which seeks to improve the ecology of an environment either directly, by repairing an environment and re-establishing ecology through an artistic practice, or in- directly by encouraging people to be environmentally sensitive and consider environmental concerns.
