Public Art Tour








On a windy day, I went on an art tour in the Loop……













I remembered that when I first came to the Loop, I was surprised to see many artworks. The first one that I noticed was the Picassos Chicago. From then on, I started to pay attention to them. I have visited some places and artworks before but I had no information about them. This time, with the audio tour, I could get the overall information about the artworks. An interesting one was about the idea of Crown Fountain, the artist wanted to emphasize that humans were made of water. My companion and I took a lot of pictures on that day. We shared our opinions on the artworks. I think that this is a good chance to learn about art and at the same time we know more about Chicago. Then I realize that the important aim of art is to share. It is how people share their views towards things around us and our life. It makes me think deeper about art and the motivation of the artists.
