In Rows!

Back then Houston was called by ward. Today we visited the 3rd ward. I was most populated by African Americans . The 3rd ward is not a place of riches and gold, but more of being thankful for what they have.

The project row house is located in the 3rd ward of Houston.
Inside of these houses are pieces of art work that artist created ..
but they stay there for about a week or a couple to make it

This is the picture of some the row houses.. the unique thing about the row house is that  they made more
houses for young mothers who don't have shelter and they get to live there with there children
but they must finish school and pay at least a low income

This poster is the 3rd ward and it invites people to come and look at the art work
and go to there parties and kids camp.

Architecture

When first drive into Houston or think about it. We picture the tall skyscrapers, but those skyscrapers have more than just a straight side. The have design and detail that up close make them look beautiful!

Well as we rode to downtown on the metro, which was an amazing and fun
experience, we were on our way to look at the architecture on the skyscrapers
around the city. Let me tell you those skyscrapers
are HUGE!!!!!

This is a picture of the chase bank from across the street. I honestly love the way the chase bank looks because from far away it looks plane and close up it has lots of details to it and it is incredible.

This is the close up of the front door of the chase bank.
It has lots detail and it has some parts made of gold.
The cool part of the Chase Bank is that inside is has hidden underground tunnels with restaurant or little shopping centers for the workers.


                                                                   

This elevator is the elevator that took us to the 60th floor
it was kind of nerve recking. I didn't realized how up we
were until we all got down an walk to the front side of the  building.

This is the view that I got to see on the 60th floor.
Everything looked so tiny and so plastic like.
There is like actual stair that take you all the way up but I really don't think anyone would use them, its too tiring!

The Mullet

The Mullet is a hidden place I had no idea it even existed! It is a place where artist can do Graffiti Art.
Yes! Graffiti is no longer taken as a act of violence, it is actually considered an art! Every inch of the building is covered with at least one spot of paint or filled with color

The Mullet can be found behind the Almeda Mall in Houston. This old building was donated to the man who started the mullet. The reason the mullet was started was to raise donations for autism.

This Art is incredible and it must have too

ken lots of hard work and dedication. This painting is the first thing you see as you approach the site. It is every large and full of color its like I am looking at the rainbow.

 This is an alley on the side of the building full of nothing but graffiti art. Anyone can come here and express themselves by art. The mullet sometimes sponsor  events like  music bands come or artist from all over the world and the money goes to children with autism.

 Inside a hidden door between the art wall is the art shop. In this little shop they sell all kinds of spray paints,markers or books with ideas on what to paint. Of course you can only purchase a bottle of spray if you are over 18. Also sold in the shop are other artist art works.

A wall next to the little shop is made by an artist with great potential.It looks kinda creepy but the colors that the artist used on top is very good technique.
