Public Architecture

Turner Field- Atlanta, GA
One of the most important and popular architectual pieces of art in the state of Georgia, Turner Field was built shortly after the destruction of Fulton County Stadium. It has been the home of the Atlanta Braves since 1997 and its unique and design makes it the home of other events as well. The megatron in this picture happens to be the biggest in the world and is really amazing how the archetect that constructed this field fit this screen in without taking away from anything else in the stadium.


Friend's house- Covington, GA


We believe it is unique because of the way it was built, with the second story porch and large size. We find it amazing how someone can construct a house of this size and still make it look nice. The backside of this house actually has 2 porches that give it a much taller looking feature.


Stone Mountain- Stone Mountain, GA


This picture of the sculpture on the side Stone Mountain symbolizes the extreme difficulty of sculpting art. Due to its large size and the presidents that are represented on it is known all over the world. As you can see, its height makes it one of the most difficult and interesting artworks in Georgia.























































Self Portrait-Christopher Chong

I drew a picture of myself. This represents me because I believe it to look like me.

Self Portrait

As you can see, my self portrait is very sports oriented. I have been around sports all of my life and feel that it was appropriate that when describing myself sports should play a huge role.

Self Portrait- Brian Doyle

This is a self-portrait I created using Microsoft paint. It represents me because i drew myself.

Graffiti Project

This one represents a face maybe terrified of reality or society.

This symbolizes truth and how real it is. This artist created a representation of what he wanted to say.


This signifies gang symbols and represents the divided society. The bullet for an "i" represents hate.



Unknown angry ball with bones. skull?



This graffiti appears to just be free work without any real intention for one certain meaning.





This one is an eye that was possibly made for people to look at themselves and society as a whole.





These graffiti photos were taken from an old burned down mill that is abandoned and not in use. They symbolize the artists' feelings and were obviously done by folk artists throught the area.
