MCA

   It was my third time to visit Museum of Contemporary art, but I have never seen Alexander Calder's artwork. Therefore, I was excited while I was there. Of course, I focused on his artwork. He is very interesting artist because he use many different and creative materials. Among them, my favorite was his reusing one. Those materials are supposed to be trash, but by his hand, those things are made as a beautiful things. I think that he was very progressive person to consider his time period, so that is why many artists are influenced by Alexander Calder. A bad thing was that I may not take his artwork picture.

Question 11

Question 22

Chicago Artists Month

  I didn't know that Gitte posted on blackboard about this project. One of my friend who is working architecture company suggested to go there, so I went there with 10 friends.  It was really good because I could see many different artists work.  Wine and food were free haha. I could spend time just two and half hour because it was closed at 10, but we were til 10:30, then we hang out.

Shadow Hunting

While I was playing tennis with my friend, another friend took this picture for me.  The weather was so good, so that is why I tried to take picture at my apartment in tennis court.
I wanted to express my activity

Public Art

  It was my second public art trip, but audio tour was my first time. Actually, when I did first public art trip, I had no idea what it was going on even second time before listening audio tour. As I listened audio, I could get many information, so it is really good for tourists.

  I did this project with Akira and George on Saturday, but weather was bad because of raining.  Public art has own advantage. For example, we can get close to watch, and we can touch, so it feel like more comfortable to me. I think that art public is the most accessible form among art. 

One of my interesting one is Jay Pritzker Pavilion by Frank Gehry.  When I took a picture infront of Jay Pritzker Pavilion, one of my friend who is studying architecture said that this artist is really famous because of his individuality such as modernism. He also made Walt Disney Concert Hall as well. Both looks like coming from future. It looks like very fresh to me. 

By the way, it was really good outside activity.  While I was looking around, I though about class what I learned like insider artist because I think that something teacher wants us from this trip. Probably, it worked at least to me. Before I took this class, when I watched some arts, I did not have any thinking, but this time was different.

#7 HOB

God of blues BB.King & Eric Clapton

Before I came to House of Blues, I had been there about 6 times to watch some concerts, so I just expected that it would be boring. However, my expectation was totally wrong.

Although I had been many times, I did not recognize that there were lots of paintings. Especially, VIP room was soooo awesome. I like that atmosphere. Maybe HOB is my dream job because it combines music and art. 

By the way, it is my best field trip ever never!!!
