Get Creative With Garden Sculpture USA

By Anthony McDonald


It is important to get out from in front of a television set, move the body, and express the mind. A person can accomplish all three of these things by creating their own garden sculpture USA. In fact, some people have turned off their TV, turned on their creativity, and turned their hobby into their life work.

Scrappers often become artists, and this can start from an accidental find of some old barn full of scrap metal. A welder and a helmet are all one needs to begin a whole new, albeit noisy and potentially messy hobby. However, for making artwork that one intends to leave in the yard, metal certainly holds up a whole lot better than ceramic or glass.

Old antiques can be displayed in such a fashion, and most everyone has some old worn out tools laying about. Hard rakes, hoes, and other scraps can become animals, insects, or birds displayed in the yard. It is certainly possible for some pieces to be bought from high volume stores, or even online, but displaying something made ourselves grants a much greater sense of pleasure.

Smart families keep art as a family endeavor with creative parents raising more creative children. The sense of well being instilled in a child when their idea becomes art, and this piece is put on display for the whole town is huge. It teaches a child to value their own creation, and thereby instilling within them a sense of self worth and self esteem that will carry them throughout life.

Many of us have found a gift in the ground that came from some garden of old. It seems a shame that one might lose a piece of yard art, but the finder is always intrigued by a mysterious new piece of art created in the past. Gifts given from one generation of gardener to the next in this way often take pride of place in the yard of an outdoor artist.

In a society where we have become totally immersed in indoor living complete with video games and Monday Night Football, our yards are sometimes forgotten. When riding by all the yards with green grass and green trees only, our eye is more easily caught by color. Flower beds are a pleasing attraction, and yard art among the petals turns our journey through the garden into an adventure of discovery.

The minimalist approach to yard maintenance is boring, and tells people that those who live inside are boring as well. When we turn our yards into a display of our creative endeavors, we announce to the world that we are not satisfied to dwell in front of a talking box only. We tell the world that we see beauty in the mundane, and this makes us more interesting to others.

It is a positive change when we see our neighbors abandoning the television sets and sitting outside again. When sitting outside becomes creating our own sacred space, then our creative endeavors become revolutionary. It has been said that a journey begins with the first step, and for many of us, that first step is off of our own front doorsteps.
