My article is about a new art museum that was built in Qatar around last year. Not only does the museum contain collects of Islamic art, but the building itself is a piece of art because of its modern, yet still Islamic, style. It was designed by a 91 year old Chinese man named I.M. Pei, (who grew up in Hong Kong where my mom is from) and is also famous for designing the East building of the National Art Gallery in DC. Pei had to study Islamic culture before the museum was designed, and considers the museum itself a piece of sculpture. Join discussion...

Land art is basically art that is made by human artists and is located in nature as opposed to gallaries and such. Sometimes the work is made out of nature, itself, and sometimes, the work is made out of human-made materials and just placed in nature. The dilemma is that threats are being posed to beautiful land art. One is the simple matter of erosion, and another, more dire threat, is the fact that companies are trying to carry out projects such as railroads and drilling for oil, which could majorly disturb several areas where there is Land Art.
