Exploring Geoart and Geoaesthetics
Kirtikumar Randive | Krutika Jangale
This book explores the enduring connection between art and geology, revealing how Earth’s materials can inspire creativity, learning, and innovation. Rooted in India’s rich artistic heritage and the scientific study of our planet, it introduces Geoart as a groundbreaking interdisciplinary field that bridges science, art, and education. As teaching increasingly embraces experiential and hands-on approaches, this book demonstrates how geological materials can be transformed into meditative, visually compelling works of art while deepening scientific understanding. Through key concepts in Geoart, Geoaesthetics, and Geoeducation, it presents new opportunities for geoscience educators, artists, mining professionals, and Earth scientists. Combining academic insight with practical relevance, this pioneering volume highlights the creative, educational, and socio-economic potential of Geoart, inspiring readers to view the natural world through both scientific and artistic lenses.
