David bowie

“Who is David Bowie?” I said. When I first heard about his name, I thought that he was a famous painter or architect in America. However, when I visited to the museum, I was surprised because he was musician. “Oh my god, was he a famous musician? Was he member of betles?” I first asked myself because I did not know old musicians except betles. that is why, I wanted to know about David Bowie. His exhibit showed me what he influenced many people in the middle of 20^th by consisting of various his uniforms, his songs and his life. Especially, his fashion was really interesting because I did not imagine his fashion was accepted by people who lived at that time. However, clearly He influenced people’s fashion at that time, and he proved the fact by opening this exhibit in Chicago. When I first saw his uniforms, the uniforms looks for girls, so I did not like his style despite the fact that I accept easily various cultures. However, I looked around the exhibit, and found many people were interested of that. After visiting the exhibit, I entered a media room, and I watched his acting in the movies. When I was watching, I realized that he was really handsome more than me, and I was disappointed of god because it was unfair that he had all of those.

           His art is like toys that people who live at that time remember their childhood by. He controlled main stream of culture at the time. Today many people want to remember their memory by seeing David Bowei’s exhibit. That is to say, his art is people’s memory.

                                                         Frida

The movie “Frida” by Julie Taymor expresses about her life. She was a representative women painter in the Mexico. According to the movie, her life was really hard more than normal. For example, when she was 18 years old, she got into a car accident. The effect was that she had suffered a pain in the most her life. After watching the movie, I thought about relationship between her art and her work. Her works were expressions of her emotion by painting her-portray in her works. Especially, she was influenced by her husband. Her husband, Rivera was a famous painter in the Mexico. However, he liked to sex with girls. When I was watching the scene, I had a question why many artists want to do deviations such as a sex, a alcoholic or a drug. Anyway, her husband protected to her before leaving from him. That is to say, if he was not with her, people would not watch her works. After watching the movie, I imagined if I am a student who want to be a painter, and I face to her, what i will ask her about. I will ask her what I need to be a good artist, and May be she will tell me that i need to understand my emotions, and express them in paintings. This answer was my realization about the movie.

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.

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.
