When you were a kid, did you ever draw pictures in the dirt with sticks? There is a man named Stan Herd who is very skilled at playing in dirt!
Stan Herd was born into a family of farmers in 1950 and grew up in a very small town in Southwest Kansas. He was a talented painter. When he started doing murals(壁画)he realized he enjoyed doing a huge works of art. Then, while flying over a field once, he got the idea of using the earth as his canvas(画布). In 1976, he returned to farming roots and invented a new form of artwork called “crop art” or “Earthworks”. Herd is the first known American to use the earth as canvas.
To create these giant designs, Herd usually starts by making an outline(轮廓) with bricks. After that, he begins filling in the area with materials. These can range from different colors of dirt, sand, and rocks to different types of plants and flowers. Herd often uses local volunteers to help with his projects because his projects are too big for just one person. While he is creating his pieces, he sometimes looks at them by going up in a hot air balloon, but usually he just creates his work based on his previous experience.
Herd’s personal artwork frequently focuses on the theme(主题) of farm life. Herd comes from a family of farmers. His art aims to show respect for their hard work. He has also devoted his time to creating an earthen medicine wheel at Haskell Indian Nations University--a big project that is very proud of. Through years of practice, he created his own art form by combining his farm upbringing(教养) with his love of art.
