When Simon Beck creates artwork, he doesn't use paints or pencils. Instead, he uses his snowshoes and compass(罗盘) and walks to his canvas(画布)—a wideopen area of fresh snow.
Mr Beck makes huge designs in the snow by walking and leaving footprints in different shapes.
The Start of Snow Art
The idea came to him in 2004 after a day of skiing in Savoie Valley, France, where he lives in the winter. Mr Beck noticed a beautiful area of undisturbed snow and thought it would be fun to draw a star in it.
At that time, Mr Beck worked as a mapmaker. Mr Beck used a map and a compass to create a perfect star in the snow. He then added more details, such as curves(曲线) and circles, to the design. The work looked wonderful, especially when he viewed it from above on a nearby chairlift.
An Exact Process(过程)
Mr Beck says that he often starts by drawing the design on paper using a ruler and a protractor(量角器). Once he gets to his site, he starts in the centre of the design. He then “draws” the primary lines while holding his compass to make sure he keeps walking straight.
Next, he adds the curves and smaller lines with his footprints. Finally, he fills in some of the areas between the lines with more footprints. On average, a snow design takes Mr Beck 10 hours to make.
Snowy Success
As Mr Beck worked to build a collection of photos to publish in his book Snow Art, he posted some of his pictures on social media.His art started to get more attention. Eventually, companies began asking him to create snow artwork of their logos(标志). Mr Beck has been invited to make snow art by many countries, including Canada, the United States, Russia and China.
