Sehoon Cheon's Art-103 : Reflection of Public Art

The public art tour gave me a chance to rebuild my stereotype about public arts which usually are open to the public, displayed on the street. As a matter of fact, I haven't paid any attention to those public arts before I take this class. While I was doing this assignment, I felt like I was finding hidden treasures in the city. Even though I tried to do the audio tour at first, it wasn't suitable for me because I felt it is kind of boring and the explanation about the artwork was too long. Therefore, I just stop doing the audio tour and started mapping to get the location of the artworks in Chicago. I planned my own tour for not only the artworks which Chicago city recommends, but also other not-well known works which usually don't draw many people's attention. Since I knew that I might not be able to finish this project in a day, I carried my camera all the time in order to take picture of them whenever I find them. What I learned from this work is that I lived,am still living, will live with art, although I have never thought about the art before and the art is the things which is not related to me. Actually, when I found all the artworks at first glance, my impression about them was they are so hard that I couldn't understand them at all. However, while I was looking up the information about them, it brought me pleasure to get to know about them. I was glad to understand the artwork more deeply as per the artists' intention.
