                                        The Last Time Emmett Modeled Nude 

                                                                                               by Sally Mann

The theme is place. It seems like that the nude boy is the dense tropical forests of the Amazon basin. Reflection in the river is really gorgeous. Indeed, I am under the false impression that this boy seems to control water. 

 

The Magic of Regret

This theme is story. I like this idea which is one real person and one doll as expressing love. When I saw first time, I didn't recognize that a man is doll.  Although man is doll, they  seem like to enjoy their dating. 

I'm Yours

                                                by Arturo Herrera

This theme is play. This shows how two people make wall painting as entertainment. I just evoke when I went Chicago Artists Month festival. I went an artist's gallery, there was a wall paining, but it did not complete. Artists said that any guests can draw on my wall instead of me. Actually, although that wall painting had many different styles, it was very awesome.

A Journey That wasn

This theme is romance. Usually, winter in the Arctic is harsh, but this picture doesn't seems like that. Light bulb seem like a small sun and igloos is been reflecting by light bulb, so igloos is so shiny. It makes warm and very cute penguins gather to igools. That is why this picture is lovely.

Winter in the Arctic is harsh.

   I have been The Art Institute Chicago more than 5 times, but this time is something different to me because I may be taking this class. Before I took this class, I just passed by painting. However, I just tried to understand why this artist drew like this way. I like that we went past modern European section because I really like impressionism. Through this time, I could be interested in Salvador Dali, so I was standing his some paintings for a while. His painting is something different other artists such as color tone, and weird object. By the way, it was great time to me, and I realized that my viewing for artwork is improving step by step through this class.
