Team Work

   This is the video I make which consists most of our picture and the interview.
   I was very impressed by the exibition of bird theme. People in the Euphrates and Tigris in ancient, they created the inscription to interatct with each other.  In this case, people found people trusted  the bird could contact with god, so they respect the bird. They thought the blood of the bird is very holy and with foutune, I selected a lot of birds picture.  

Goya's Ghosts

      This is a cut of the movie that I took by my ipad, while I was watching it on itunes. Inspite of the 4$ cost of this movie, it was worthy to watch.
 All his work is incorporated with his life. He suffered the war by Napolean when he was in Spain work for church and royal family's portray. He became a deaf after the stimulation by the strike of losing his friend. This picture shows the way how he felt about the war. The sense of vision became very strong after he became deaf.
       The purpose of taking these tow picture is based familiarity of textbook. As critic can see, the painting after the war change from portray to darkness tone. Art is a little or giant book, which adhere with the feeling of the maker.
     
     The movie is satire that reveal the separeted experience of Goya and a sad life of a girl with a rich family. The picture is a satire. I'm strong recommand the movie.

Shadow

        -->
          When I was a child, shadow is one of my games that I played with my grandparents. The shadow artist has been created in current art area. People think that the shadow art is more mysterious; also, it can express the creativity of the artist.
             As an amateur, the shadow art give me a lot of fun. I was fond of doing the art. When I search the shadow picture from web, the shadow cause the curiously of mine.
In the picture, there two shadows on the ground, and people may curious about the bigger one. It gave people a lot of space to imagine because we didn't see the whole picture. To be ridiculous, a big hawk makes the bigger shadow, and the hawk wants to catch the people who were walking on the street. Also, we can imagine a falling blanket made the big shadow. To be common, the big shadow is made by a floating commercial object when it passed by the sky above him.  
            See! That is what the shadow art gave us.  It made our mind to imagine and brainstorm.

Boat







     This trip is a must for those visiting Chicago! We visited in June 2012 and took the earliest boat cruise – we would highly recommend getting up early for this – the boat was practically empty. These trips are popular and the boats later on the day are often sold out or very busy – not good for sightseeing or photo opportunities.

The information given on this cruise went beyond the usual facts-and-figures to include some fascinating facts, like how the flow of the river was reversed, how much of the riverside land was created with the rubbish and rubble from the big Chicago fire, the IQ tests given to audience applicants for the Jerry Springer show, and WHY Chicago is really called ‘the windy city'.
The guide displayed a dry sense of humour throughout the whole tour, which was very refreshing. His commentary bought this city to life and you will learn a whole lot of astounding, interesting and odd little facts as well. A trip to Chicago would not be complete without taking this tour.
    By taking this boat, we got to know the city of architecture achievement of Chicago.  The Chicago Board Trading building is very famous in the world. The '' corn" shape Marina city is a wonderful architecture. I like Reid Murdoch Building most, It was the traffic court. The building is an old fashion building, but it connect well with the modern buildings. Also, the big clock is a 80s european style. 











       
       
       I finished this trip by myself. The trip was an excellent project. I visited 9 out of 15 landscape of the assinment. One of my favorite sculpture is the Flamingo. Since I was by mine own, I didn't pay too much attention to the stuff that I can see every day. Flamingo is a bright red color sculpture. The further scene of the artwork is like a fire house, but the color is more reveal. Searching the image of the Flamingo, The sculpture give aremo that is different from What I saw near sight. I change the color atmosphere of the area. The color of city is grey and black, so it gives people feeling of decay. I guess the inspration pf the artist is to use the sculpture like a lighter to change the feeling of people who walk by.
       It is amazing that how Jean Dubuffet created the monument with standing Beast. He put a beast right in the downtown.
