1. why did you choose this public art?

I picked this public art because it showcased all of my favorite spots in my city in Dominican Republic, while being inside of the most famous ice cream shop/ brand.

2. what piece was particularly interesting to you? Why?

The piece that was particularly interesting was the part of the big statue of Jesus that sits on top of a mountain in Puerto Plata. This was interesting because of the amount of details that it has, and the contrast between the grey colors of the statue compared to the rainbow of the umbrellas.

3. how did the piece of art make you feel?

This piece made me feel very proud of my city for having all of these wonderful things, including the cable car that goes up to 800 meters where you can see the entirety of Puerto Plata.

1. Why did you choose this public art?

I chose this public art because it immediately caught my eye as I was walking past it.

2. What piece was particularly interesting to you? Why?

It was an art piece that was made with the intention of interacting with everyone. It might prompt people to stop, pose, and take a picture, and just that might be enough to improve someone's day. At least, that's how I interpret it.

3. How did the piece of art make you feel?

This art piece makes me feel happy. I feel like the collage of colors, patterns, and buildings does a good job at representing a part of New York, and I didn't find it unpleasant to look at.

1. I chose this art because it looks really beautiful and peaceful. The bridge and the sunset together just stand out to me. Also, it's a combination of human engineering and natural beauty, which makes the entire scenery meaningful.

2. The most interesting part is the long bridge with the sun right next to it, creating an amazing contrast with the blue sky. The way the light hits the water is beautiful and captivating.

3. It made me feel at peace, but also kind of amazed at how nice everything looks together. It created a moment of happiness for me because enjoying a yacht party with a beautiful scenery is not something you experience on an everyday basis. So I enjoyed every single minute of that day.

1. Why did you choose this public art?

I chose this public art because despite it being a bridge it still displays a sense of artistry given how it appears visually beautiful through clever structural engineering and design... still art in my eyes.

2. What part was interesting to you and why ?

This bridge interested me because it displayed a sense of progress and travel into another place, the introspective visual appeal is present. Its symmetrical yet circular edges do have an aesthetically pleasing view from a pedestrian point of view. The perfect sunset behind illustrates possibly what the structural engineers and designers wish to achieved to be enjoyed by daily commuters.

3. How did the piece make you feel ?

it makes me feel very pleased and makes my bridge feel very futuristic. Feels modern and refreshing as well as a sense of futuristic structural engineering advancements.

I choose this piece of art because there was like three pieces of art then the rest was just graffiti and that was just words. It's beautiful being that it's flowers and bees. The sunflower was interesting to me because it looks real. This art makes me feel relaxed and at peace.

1. I chose this piece because I constantly walk by it to and from work everyday near union square. It is called the Metronome, and has several components, one also being the climate clock countdown.

2. This piece interested me because of how eye catching it is, particularly the fact that it's a large piece of art carved out on a regular office building seems unsettling or unusual which caught my attention.

3. I would easy this piece of art made me feel both uneasy and intrigued. The strange curved pattern of the building contrasting with an abstract looking wand/moon, atop with a hand sticking out near the top is a lot going on. I think that's the intention though, to make you notice.

1.I chose this public art because it really captured New York City in a way that felt familiar but also kind of new at the same time. The trains, buildings, and city scenes made me feel like I was seeing everyday life in NYC turned into something more artistic and meaningful.

2.The piece that stood out the most to me was the one labeled “The Bronx.” That one hit differently because I was born and raised in the Bronx, so it felt really personal. Seeing my home represented in an art exhibit made me pause for a moment because it wasn’t just “a part of the city”it was my part of the city being shown.

3.It made me feel proud and honestly a little emotional in a good way. It was nice seeing where I come from displayed like that, especially in a creative space like the Arte Museum. It made me appreciate my roots and NYC a lot more than I already do.

1.why did you choose this public art?

I chose this piece its an illusional sculpture or should i say functional art. I like the fact its made to look like someone from behind but it also has a face.

2.what piece was particularly interesting to you? Why?

The idea that the artist was able to make functional art while sticking to the theme (sex). From afar it looks like a zebra butt (lol).It was a cool and funky twist.

3. how did the piece of art make you feel?

Looking at this functional sculpted piece made me laugh. I loved the sense of humor of the artist, It is also a slide that’s the even cooler part.

2- It is interesting to me because I think we are all free in this stolen land and the birds and flowes in this piece represent it.

3- This piece made me feel proud for the person that created it. However, it also made me feel sad for the people that are seen as ilegal aliens from migration.

2. The black and yellow piece at the bottom caught my attention the most. Its shapes and colors are bold and playful, and it really stands out against the gray wall.

3. Seeing all the layers of graffiti made me feel curious and excited, like each piece tells a different story and adds personality to the neighborhood.

I chose this art piece because it depicts West African culture. by the outfit and the drums they're playing, and the lady holding the double-edged Cutlass. This is unique to West Africans.

This piece stood out to me because of how it was made with small, colorful tiles and its depictions of West African culture. But the men seem to be white or light-skinned, which intrigued me further. Because then I wondered what the inspiration behind the beautiful piece of art was.

Overall, the art made me feel very calm, even though I walked away asking myself a few questions about how it was done and by whom. It gave me a sense of belonging and a feeling of being at home in my country, Ghana. which was very nostalgic and a good feeling all around. This art is located on 116th st

I chose the Fearless Girl statue because I had seen it before but never really paid attention to what it meant. It is located in Lower Manhattan near the New York Stock Exchange, in a really busy area where a lot of people walk by every day. I picked it because it is easy to find and it felt like something I could actually go see in person without any issues.

The piece that stood out to me was the Fearless Girl itself because of how strong the message is even though the statue is small. It is placed in a way that makes it feel like it is standing its ground in a big, overwhelming space. I thought it was interesting how something so simple can still stand out so much in a crowded part of the city.

Overall, the artwork made me think about confidence and standing up for yourself. It also made me realize how public art can send a message without needing words. After looking at it more closely, it felt more meaningful than I expected and made me appreciate it more than when I first saw it.

I chose this public art because the lights at night and the surrounding area with the building lights make this look even more beautiful.

This piece is interesting because it's something you haven't seen before, and it's a unique work of architecture and engineering because you can actually like and walk the floors.

This public art makes me feel calm and chill, like the lights of the environment and where it's located by the waterside of Manhattan, it just helps you capture the beauty of New York City and how special this city really is.

1.I chose this public art because it stands out as a vibrant wall full of stickers, posters, and graffiti layered over each other. The building’s staircase and brick walls are completely covered which made the whole corner feel like an outdoor art gallery.

2.This piece is interesting because it’s not just one artwork and it’s a collection of many different art works. You can see cartoon characters, colorful patterns, and small messages all mixed together. It shows how street art grows over time with new layers being added on top of old ones.

3.This piece made me feel very curious. The mix of colors and textures brings a sense of movement and personality to the street. You can almost feel the creativity of the neighborhood just by looking at it. In my opinion it makes the environment feel more open and artistic.

1. I chose this public art because it was a work that immediately stood out to me. The flowers, even though on a metal gate that would otherwise go ignored, alter the entire feel of the space. It reminded me of how often places seem rough externally and can hold in them something truly beautiful.

2. I was most interested in the flower on the left side of the mural. It is the largest, and its opening petals create this feeling of energy, though it only consists of black, white, and gold paint. That reminded me of how even the simple things in a neighborhood stand out and catch your attention.

3. This piece made me feel calm and relaxed because the colors are soft and not too overpowering. Even though it's painted on a regular metal gate, the flowers make the area feel more welcoming. It showed me how art can change the whole mood of a block and bring people closer to the place they live in.

A) I choose this public art because I have seen it a lot, and i believe it is a reference to the past.

I chose this public art because I work at this store so I see this very often and it was the first thing that came to mind.

2. What piece was particularly interesting to you? Why?

The piece itself wasn't all that interesting to me, it was more the significance of this piece itself that I would say interested me. This piece wasn't always on the store it was added not too long ago and it now gives the store a more summer kind of childhood feel.

3. How did the piece of art make you feel?

This piece of art reminded me of my childhood more specifically it made me reminisce about when I used to get ice cream on a hot summer day after playing with my friends. It made me feel a bit happier thinking about past memories.

1. Why did you choose this public art?

I chose this piece of art because it is something I walk past every day, and it pops out in the surrounding area. It shows the different trains and the Bronx Zoo, and in the background, the Kingsbridge Armory, trying to show the iconic places in the surrounding area, and I found it interesting how this art tried to incorporate its community to add beauty

2. What piece is particularly interesting to you? Why?

I'd say the Armory in the background is the most interesting to me because the level of detail in the artwork is very impressive, and like I said previously, I admire the artist's choice to use their community in their art.

3. How did the piece of art make you feel?

It made me realize how much we have in the city with the amount of public transportation we have access to, although it isnt the safest, and the art we might pass every day without noticing and admiring, when in many places in the country there isn't art like this everywhere we go

1. Why did you choose this public art?

I chose this piece because I thought it was cool and because I just think that it's a great representation of not only New York but also the world. The area in which it's in also plays a big role in the message that it sends.

2. What piece was particularly interesting to you? Why?

The eye in the center was probably the most interesting part to me because it can be interpreted differently to a lot of people. Personally, I took it as a way of saying that the world is viewed differently by everyone as they all live different lives. Not to mention, the fact that it's a "mural" of the world can signify that people from all over come together in New York and create a diverse environment.

3. How did the piece of art make you feel?

It made me feel an immense feeling of "sonder" to say the least. The fact that each individual person in the world is living their own version of life that we may never know about is something I think about a lot and this piece of art bueatifully portrayed that.

2. what piece was particularly interesting to you? Why?

What was interesting to me is not just the art, but also the events that would take place here especially during the summer.

I once walked past them spray painting a new image really taking their time and effort.

3. how did the piece of art make you feel?

1. Why did you choose this public art?

I chose the public art "Every One, Each One, Equal All" because it highlights an important message about equality and representation. The artwork does not just depict three figures of dancers in vibrant costumes of fur and feathers, but also conveys their equality, reminding us that all individuals are equal, regardless of their cultural background. The artwork promotes equality in society, a central message in today's divided world.

2. What piece was particularly interesting to you? Why?

The piece was interesting to me because it combines three distinct art pieces in a single frame to convey a three-part message – "Every One," "Each One," and "Equal All." Each art piece represents one of these phrases, making it easy to interpret and understand. Also, the piece is interesting, as it prompts the viewer to look beyond physical appearance and focus on the richness of our diversity.

3. How did the piece of art make you feel?

This piece of art made me feel moved to fight the inequalities in society based on race, religion, gender and economic class by forcing me to reflect on discrimination. It also instilled in me a sense of respect for all people, making me recognize that each individual deserves to be treated with dignity.

It was very interesting to see how the graffiti artist used the wall which had an aged rough feel to it.  The complex letters, vibrant colors, and texture of the wall gave the piece a lot of depth and dynamism.

3.How did the piece of art make you feel?

Seeing this graffiti made me feel energized and inspired. It reminded me that art can be anywhere. Moreover, it shows that creativity can turn a neglected or run-down space into something attractive and meaningful.
