Applied Visual Arts is a cross disciplinary field, touching on and connecting to the ones of, contemporary art education, contemporary fine art, architecture and design but not belonging to any specific discipline. It is not about applying/styling/decoration “design” or “art” in general and does not refer to any specific technical skill within arts and crafts.
Environmental Art can be explained and understood as the environmental philosophy of the visual arts (Jokela, 2008: 22) it is a widely diverse discipline encompassing small personal works, including earth/body art and performance, to permanent, large-scale works.
There is a broad range of artistic production that environmental art can cover, and the definitions can be flexible and vary, some examples are as follows: Environmental Bio-Art: Artworks incorporating living material, such as plants or moss, for a restorative function. Earthworks: Large-scale, environmental sculptures that use the natural environment both as site and as the materials for creation. Land Art: Term used predominantly in the 60s and 70s, referring to large-scale artworks, made outdoors on the land but not necessarily ecologically focused. Walking Works: Practices in which the artist uses the act of walking through an environment as an artistic expression. Recycled Art & Site-Specific Performance Art.
In site specific context, it is common that the artworks are documented through film or photograph, since the artist connects with a particular environment through their body/senses in a manner that are not lasting in the same way like a painting for example.
