    What is Environmental art?
    • These are large sculptural or spatial works that
    create national surroundings which the
    spectator may enter and become absorbed in.
    • It incorporates sensory stimuli, such as sound
    or movement, to capture the observer’s
    attention.
    Who are some of the Artists associated with
    Environment Art?
    1. Claes Oldenburg
    *He is a pioneer of Pop art. He conducted bests
    artworks such as Autobodys at Los Angeles 1964
    which involved automobiles, crowds of people and
    quantities of ice cubes in a participational art event.
    *Some of his works called soft sculpture transform
    familiar everyday objects into sagging heaps. They
    are intended both as innovative sensual experiences
    and as commentary on the social import of the
    objects portrayed
    SOFT DRUM SET- GHOST VERSION

    Oldenburg did this by sculpting things of canvas and foam or similar materials. He used this
    approach to create soft-sculpture fans, typewriters, bathroom fixtures and other items.
    TROWEL
    Trowel is a large metal sculpture
    by Oldenburg. He is known for his
    oversized sculptures of everyday
    objects, many of which are
    monumental in scale. This piece is
    in the sculpture garden of the
    Kroller-Muller Museum in
    Otterloo, Netherlands.

    Environment Art?
    2. Jim Dine
    *An American painter, sculptor and graphic artist, he incorporated
    images of everyday objects in his art. He however, tried to do
    away from the coldness and impersonal nature of Pop art by
    making works that fused personal passions and everyday
    experiences. His repeated use of familiar and personally
    significant objects, such as a robe, hands, tools and hearts, is a
    signature of his art. In his early work, he created mostly
    assemblages in which he attached actual objects to his painted
    canvases, as in Shoes Walking on My Brain

    with his French-born wife Jeanne-Claude, sice
    the 1960s. Their works transform the natural
    environment and cause onlookers to observe
