Public art assignment

            The preparation plan for this project was very important because I had to plan where I would go in order before going to get the most advantage of my time. I would recommend this tour to anyone interested in architecture and art and also to torus. The reason why is because this tour could give you and show you some of the most interesting sculpture from Chicago as well as some of the best sight. Something unique that happened during my visit was that I saw a person drawing a very interesting sketch of the Monument with standing beast. The reason why I found this interesting was because he was sketching it very precisely and a very good sketch of it to in big huge sketch bock.  In my tour I did not have the chance to interact with anyone, but a lot of people were staring when I was taking picture.  Something that I learn on my tour was how many sculpture Chicago has and the interesting think that some of them represent. Something else that I learned was how sometimes I pass by these pieces and have never notice them. In one part of my project I did cheat because I could get past the gate to actually get a good picture of the sculpture, so I just had to take a picture from the gate.

The second video that I watch was a video from season seven 2014 and the theme was fantasy. The aris feature in this video where Katharina Grosse, Joan Jonas, and Omer Fast. The first artist feature was katharina Grosse's and her style of art had a lot to do with sculpture and nature. One of the most interesting art piece that they show of Katharina was one where there was a fake fallen tree and the reason why is because it was full of color. The second artist Joan Jonas and what is different about her art is the way she present it. One of the profoments that she made in the video that got my attention was when she would draw in the black board but would using a stick to draw it. The last artis that was featured in this episode was Omer Fast and his art was more about filming and not really about painting.

The first video that I watch was from the season 2003 and the tam was humor. In this video It featured Eleanor Antin, Raymond Pettibon, Elizabeth Murray, and Walton Ford. These four artis all had different style of art but they all had one similar theme humor. The first artis Eleanor Anti would take photograph of actual things and then would then show them in very interesting ways that would cause humor. One of my favorite artwork that was shown in the episode by Eleanor was the one with one hundred boots. The second artist Raymond Pettibon would create art pieces that would have lots of writing and some sort of political opinion that would show messages  would cause humor. Something that i found very interesting about this artist is that he said he would spend longer time doing his writing part of the art piece then the actual drawing. The third artist Elizabeth Murray had a special style of art in where she would put together a bunch of shape to create something crazy and unordinary. The last and final artis walton ford also had humor in his art but he would focus more on animals and would study very special type of bird which he would draw by using different types of prints. An art piece that really got my attention by Walton was a art painting where he showed a elephant with animal all around it showing story of how elephant felt and how they would explain it .
