How do you create a work of art? Well, you could use paint or pencil or crayon or chalk.
Then again, you could use people, preferably a whole lot of people who line up in a pre-determined pattern, a pattern that can be captured on film from a camera overhead.
That was the idea behind the “Peoples Environmental Art Project,” recently held for the fifth straight year in the US state of Iowa.
People lined up in to form a giant frog that was captured from overhead.
According to project organizers, making a human work of eco-art takes a lot of preparation but it’s a great expression of people’s concern about the environment. “By using people as a medium for art,” one of tem told a reporter, “we do not pollute and leave nothing behind but our footprints.”
