Hollywood Art Tour by Metro

The main purpose of art is to evoke a particular emotion from the audience. What stands out the most is the Hide and Seek  piece. It brings out a certain joy of being a carefree child. Each child from this piece is a self portrait of different elementary school student. This is what made the piece that much more interesting. Being that I, personally, am no art guru, it is usually pretty difficult to grasp a concept or emotion. However, Hide and Seek brings out the true happiness that comes with being young. There so many other art pieces that caught the attenion of myself and my peers. When we stopped in Hollywood, the first thing I noticed was was a banner for Chicago at the Pantages Theatre. The banner itself isn't much of an art piece, but the play is. Performing arts is just as interesting and beautiful as visual art. Considering the performing art is live and in person, it may even be better, at least in terms of appealing one's emotions. The play, Chicago, is fun to watch and fun to sing along with. The woman portrayed in the piece were highly dramatic; some empowering, some questionable, and some just plain funny. The last sigificant piece of art that caught my attention was a star along the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The star of Dr. Suess. Dr. Suess was a true poet. His rhymes and creativity brought children's stories to life. Children love reading his books and watching the movies based off of those books. Generation after generation, Dr. Suess never gets old. Green Eggs and Ham, The Cat in the Hat, The Lorax, and Red Fish, Blue Fish were all classics and there are so many more out there. Dr. Suess was a legend and his words were art to all families. Art can be viewed in many different perspectives and opinions. It's a wonderful thing and I'm glad I was able to be apart of this trip.
