Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago

 David's Bowie exhibit!

            On our tour we visited the Museum of Contemporary Art. We had the opportunity to experience David's Bowie exhibit. For those who don't know about the artist, he is a great painter. Also, he was a singer too. In the exhibition they were offering headphones so people can listen to the artist singing and talk while walking around the exhibition. The artist's way of dressing was a little bit weird.

DePaul Museum Group Project

DE Paul Museum Group Project

On this project we went to Depaul Museum with my group. The museum belongs to Depaul University. 

The museum has two floors and its free to enter. When we got to the museum it was almost empty except two visitors. In that day there was an exhibit called "The Justice Chair". As you can see there are some strips under the chair and they are made of X-ray films, and it shows the names of the people who were held there in the 2012.

         The Art Institute Of Chicago Museum is considered as one of the most popular museums in the nation. It has a lot of great art works. Most of the artwork are created by famous artists. Before I went to the museum, I didn't know that it has all those well-known works. In this trip I have experienced a lot of awesome things. In my opinion I think The Art institute of Chicago is one of the best places I have ever been to. However, they cost $12 which is not acceptable because it should be free for students. The benefit behind this trip was to explore all the well-known works, to understand their meaning, and to be familiar with all the awesome works. The paintings that attracted me the most are "A Sunday on La Grande Jatte" and "Bacchus Consoling Ariadne". It was a pleasure for me to see all the great works at the Art Institute Of Chicago Museum. I really enjoyed it.

          My partner and I have presented this painting and it is called "Nude with a Pitcher". It was created by Pablo Picasso in France, summer 1906.
