Through our venture of Houston I admired the fact that not all art is simple or is found on a mural in some five star facility, but I can be found anywhere and be anything that catches the imagination of a person. We came across a wall of collection of arts. Each section of the wall pertained to a different artist. They each depicted their own imagination. The one that caught my zeal was a top hat armadillo playing a guitar. So much work devotion had gone into the detail of the armadillo. He seemed human like in size but realistic in the detail of his appearance. The guitar was vibrant with color and well finished.
My personal favorite spot to date was off the highway. It was a simple yet majestic center for pieces of art made of cold steel and human ingenuity. The pieces where gigantic in size and structure. Each piece appeared to weigh in the tons and the hard word and labor to build such magnificent creations is inconceivable. Every piece was a testament to the industrial might of this city. It portrayed a lighter side to the cold hearted nature of steel industry. The spider was the center of attention to me. It was very elaborate and colossal in size. 
On our final tour we went a place more in touch with traditional art. The paintings sculptures in the art gallery all told tales of times past. Many famous artist through the ages had come to one place to show what human creativity could accomplish. Many paintings portrayed important battles or just simple portraits of important historical figures. What caught my enthusiasm was an eagle trophy celebrating the defeat of an enemy. The eagle was made of copper and made to appear made of gold. It was very impressive with the appearance that the eagle was coming to life. Such art is very rare and was truly appreciated that day.EMMANUEL TREJO
