Christo and Jean-Claude

1.

• an installation in which a physical, 3-d form in wrapped in a synthetic or man-made material such as a plastic sheet or paper. their works vary in size from the size of a building to the size of a small parcel. 
• the material used to wrap the objects is a single, flat colour, and is wrapped around the object such taht one can still tell the basic form of the object
• it reveal different perspectives of the object due to the fact that we are able to see the object in a different light - we only see its basic shape or form, and we cannot see any details or patterns it might hold. however, we are able to see various things such as the action of the wind on the object and such. 
• the material is usually secured down with rope or staples and while it is wrapped tightly enough that the object's form is able to be seen, it is still quite loosely wrapped so that it can move quite freely with the wind. 
• the colours used for the wrapping material is usually dull and is either a greyish-green colour or it could be a neutral colour.

• wrapped coast is about looking at the same location and seeing it in a different light
• a person may always pass by that area and might be accustomed to the sight of it, yet after wrapping it, when he can only see its basic form, he would be able to see it from a different perspective. he would, for instance, be able to see the efect that the wind has on it, as well as the way the sun shines on it. he would also be able to have a greater understanding of that location than he did before
• I think that this artwork is about how we should not take things at face value but should instead look at things in different and new ways. 
• by creating such a monumental work, the artists are able to fully bring across the message they wish to tell the people.
• In addition, this work is controversial and people would pay attention to it, seeing the beauty in the artist's art even if it is unusual. they will learn how to appreciate art in many forms as it opens their eyes to a new way of looking at things.
