Take a close look at Robert Smithson's Spiral Jetty (1970) and Christo and Jeanne-Claude's Wrapped Coast (1968-1969). Consider how these land artworks relate
to the environment and write a short statement (2-3 sentences) on a key point of contrast between them. In preparation for writing the statement, draw up a list with the key
attributes of each work. Observe the qualities of their forms and materials and revise the information you gained from the video clips and the textbook about the artists' creative
processes. Subsequently, take some time to think about what might be some of the most significant correlations between the works. After identifying some points of comparison
between the works, choose one that stands out as the most important one and could serve as a basis for formulating an argument about the artists' contrasting approaches to
Land Art. At this stage, you should be ready to write your statement on the board.
