Land Art
Our group came up with the idea for this project just because we all have amazing imaginations and have always wanted a sand child. We used rocks and leaves because that's whats available outside; that's whats up.

Sudkamp -- Art 1
Art Article #2
When a Van Gogh painting was bought
by a Norwegian industrialist in 1908, the artwork was soon sent to reside in
the owner’s attic after confusion over the painting being a fake. The picture,
painted in 1888, shows a countryside in Arles, France. One hundred years passed
with the painting being mistaken as a fake multiple times, even by the Van Gogh
Museum. Finally, evidence has been found in letters the artist wrote to his
brother, Theo, about the painting. Apparently, artwork is commonly being faked
and forged, more so than thought with 410,392 being flipped by three people
alone in only 2007. Though the events taking place in the article did not occur
in 2007, the buyer of the painting felt “jittery” about the painting seeing as
the art world has had a rise in counterfeits and forgeries, and tossed the
painting in his attic to rot for decades. This
is sickening, I’ll tell you h-what. How could such a dope picture as itself
be tossed away and forgotten for over a
hundred years? I would be embarrassed if I were the owner; though I’d also
be dead.
