Loop Art Tour

REFLECTION OF LOP ART TOUR

This is one of the most interesting things have done in this class. I liked it so much that I even continued to view the landmark and theatre tours but, there were not as entertaining as the lop tour. They were all educative though because, the told the history and purposes of the architecture and structures. I really interested in hearing about the bowman and the spearman which was created to honor the first settlers of the country according to the website. It was a really cool experience for me and I’m glad participated in this. I never liked most of the structures, especially the monument with the standing beast but now that I know a little about it, I appreciate it the more.

Day 1

This is an image from Mexico,
put on the internet by a tourist who also loves art and a soccer fan
Just like me, the tourist was attracted to the image not because of the beauty of the image but because of the beauty of the game. Art is not meant to be beautiful but the intention of the artist makes it beautiful and admired.
