Public Art Project!

Public Art Project!

   The purpose of this project was to walk around Chicago's Down Town and look the Public Art.  We had to take pictures of the art works and listen to an audio tour.  It was a unique project as we had to listen to the audio tour, while we were visiting the art works. The audio tour was helpful as it gave details about the art works and with what materials it have been made, it made the whole project a little bit more interesting. 

The Cloud Gate made by Anish Kapoor

To be honest, at the beginning the idea of listening to an audio, while I had to walk around and find the art works and take pictures didn't get my interest.  However, I gave it a try, maybe a little to late, but when I did it was pretty interesting hearing about things that no one is ever going to tell you.  The audio that I found more interesting was the one about the "Cloud Gate", which is famous as the Bean.  I liked the idea that artist had, while he was making it he wanted to be an entrance way to the sky and the clouds will drift through there reflection at the Bean.  Also, the part that said that when you look at the Cloud Gate and you see your reflection you are the frontier center and you are being the star of reflection, that made me laugh, because at that moment I was looking my reflection.

The Crown Foundation made by Jaume Plensa

I would definitely recommend this art tour to my brothers, because I am sure that they don't know the existence of some art pieces, which are being include in the tour and it would be something new for them.  I might made a small cheating, as I didn't heard all the audios from the beginning of my tour, but when I was already on the half of my tour. 

Agora made by Magdalena Abakonwicz

   

Moreover, I didn't had such a good beginning with my tour.  While, I was walking to find Agora, which it was the first art work I visited, I got lost and I didn't knew where I was and my phone went off battery.  I think, I wasn't lucky and I recommend that no one should do this tour alone!  The chances to get lost are huge.  I got lost more than 2 times in one day.  However, it was a great experience.
