We went to go see the public art in Houston in the second trip in HOTG. I personally like art especially this kind. I like it because most art isn't made for people to actually touch or anything it's just for your eyes. And this stuff (if you wanted to) you could climb it. They don't really care because its there for the people.
So we went to Sam Houston park to go look at a old statue carved about 20 years after the Civil War. This statue was definitely more traditional than the other art we saw. It wasn't that much modern. I personally don't like the art that's traditional because it seems bland. I'm into the modern stuff.
Geometric Mouse X was a really cool piece in Downtown. It's like smack in the middle of it. It's pretty big, made of metal, and red. A whole lotta red. I wasn't to sure what it represented but that's how art is. You have your own thoughts of what it represents. To other people it might not mean the same thing. Geometric Mouse X appeared to be chained to the ground.
"In Minds" was a different piece we saw because it looked like it had faces in it. I couldn't really see the different faces but I knew they were there. That piece is more modern than the other ones as it was made during 2001-02.
"Seven Wonders seemed to be cool to. It was basically a bunch of children's drawings etched into stainless steel. They were seven towers the drawings were on so that's probably why it's called seven wonders. It was next to another piece of art we saw to. It was this guy who put a red button on a bridge. He wanted to see if people were curious amd would push it. Whenever you push it it makes the water in the bayou it covers turn into like a whirlpool.
