When I first got a roof project, I thought it would be easy. However, my guess was missed the mark because I needed to concentrate to listen the audio tour, and it was hard for me. Of course I understood the most contents. The audio tour was an effective way before going to the places in person. Because I could imagine about the arts they explain. For example, when I listened the last audio about Ivan Mestrovich, I imagined his art, and I wanted to see the art in person. The last audio was very useful information because it is my part of presentation. Before going to the bowman & spearman, I researched about the art, and I listened the audio file. The effect was that I understood more effectively about the art. I recommend the audio tour because people do not have time to understand about the art when they travel around Chicago. If they want to have a good trip, they first have to study about art in chicago before going to tour. I learned that I lived with art in Chicago. I never known before preparing this project. I just thought that Chicago was a good city because there were big buildings and a lake. However, now I realized that Chicago is an art city.

Reflection

Reflect on Art Institute Visit

           I faced a lot of art information, and knowledge at art institute. I have been there many times. However, this time was very nice for me because I made effort to know more about arts. I saw many arts such as George Seurat’s art, Monet’s art and Robert’s art. One of those was Gogh’s galley. Gogh’s art impacted me because I never saw in person before visiting to art institute. That is to say, I had expected to face his arts in person. When I was looking around his gallery, I discovered one art, and for some times, I stood in front of one art. It was a self-portrait of Vincent van Gogh. This art was really impression for me because it had a lot of emotion about him. He expressed his sadness, depression, and loneliness. After looking around arts in all of rooms, I and classmates had team presentations. My team picked “champs de mars” by Robert up. Despite the fact that my team prepared hard to show presentation, it was terrible presentation. However, I know Gitte loves people who make effort about learning opportunities.

art institute reflection

Before coming to Chicago, my friends told me that I should go to art institute because there were many arts. I have been to art institute museum two times in 2 years. However, I did not explore the website before getting this homework. The main page was like beautiful girl who attracted people. I was attracted by the beautiful girl. I entered the part of collection. There were a lot of arts, and explanations of the arts. I looked at various arts. Especially, the African- American section was impressing because I understood their history which they lived hard in American. For example, the art” Cotton Pickers” by Thomas Hartbenton  shows their hard time in American history. That is to say, the website is like Michigan Lake because they have various information, and useful knowledge. 

my favorite art (first)

title : Breeze
painter : vladimir kush

He expressed many imaginations about human life in his art despite, the fact that the life is not realistic. That is why I like his art. Many people want to live in haven, and he showed his haven by painting that art.

A cultural center is a famous place in Chicago. I have been there two times before. However I expected to meet new art. When I first saw the building, it is like an old palace. The first floor was the 3 exhibits such as all the names, die welt, and topography of tension. Specially, die welt was interesting. When I first heard about the title, I thought when artist is dying, he wrote the art. However, it was really a good writing despite, the fact that I did not understand the meaning. After looking there, I went to CHCG DSGN. There were many ideas to make up home. One of those was 312 design. It was very impressive for me. I thought that if I set up the design, I have to drink 312 beers for making that. Anyway, I learned what is deign, and how many times artists worked hard for making those.
