The Art Institute of Chicago that I had known months ago was completely different. The lions looked friendly, the trees looked, and the entrance was covered with plants. This was probably because they decorated the building for the holidays. The lions had giant wreaths around their head with a red bow and the trees had beautiful christmas lights wrapped around them, and the entrance had little wreaths on the doors. The only thing that looked terrifying was the long line to get in. Luckily, Mr. I-Am-So-Smart, to some he is also referred to as Dad, bought the tickets online while we were standing in the line! Smiling, we then walked past the hundreds of people standing in line and went straight through the doors and to the ticket scanners. Getting there was quite the excitement. If you have ever driven to chicago you might notice a small set of lanes next to you often called the express lane. The express lane opens and closes for the various side. We drove onto the expressway I believe the exact second the sign changed at the entrance and the bar went up. We cruised past all of the cars lined up in traffic while laughing amongst ourselves until we finally made it to The Art Institute of Chicago. From there on, it was all amazement and awe.
The exhibit I walked to, after turning the map rightside up, and

My visit this quarter was breathtaking and educational. I learned the true meaning behind every painting, and learned the colors of the middle ages. While looking around the Arms and Armor exhibit I learned about their crazy and practical innovations and inventions, and the golden designs they had on their armor. I also confirmed some of my research I conducted for my Medieval Narrative. The Art Institute impacted the way I looked at a painting, not as art, but as a story, no matter how simple the painting is. My favorite part about my visit, was being able to spend time with my Dad in a creative
Traveling is one of my family’s favorite things to do. The family has visited numerous places throughout the United States, however, none are as memorable as Atlanta, Georgia. In Atlanta, there are many places to go and sights to see such as: Cola-cola factory, Cabbage Patch Kids Factory, Under Ground Mall, the Zoo, Atlanta Braves Stadium, Six Flags Over Georgia, Stone Mountain Park, and the Atlanta Aquarium, are all in or near the city of Atlanta. The three that we visit on every trip to Atlanta are Six Flags, Stone Mountain, and the Atlanta Aquarium.
Have you ever been to Iowa State University and seen all of the magnificent art that is located on campus? Iowa State is home to one of the largest campus public art collections in the United States. There are over 2,000 works of public art (George Washington Carver). The foundation of the contemporary Art on Campus Collection and Program began during the Depression in the 1930s, when Iowa State's President Hughes envisioned that, "The arts would
The main building of the Art Institute is constructed mostly of masonry, with few windows, and feels very heavy and overpowering. Grand staircases and large columns dwarf visitors as they move through the galleries. This is similar to the way the art in the space makes you feel: small, unimportant, and sometimes even afraid. The Modern wing in constructed of steel and glass, and is very open and bright (except when intended not to be). The large north wall facing Millenium Park is one large expanse of windows, letting in plenty of indirect sunlight, and opening the gallery to the park. The space feels very light, in both senses of the word. As with the old building, the art feels similar to the space in that it is more open and less opressive.
The museum has a collection of more than 54,000 works and a calendar full of public programs and events, exciting and engaging exhibitions, and more. The IMA invites visitors from Indianapolis elsewhere to explore the connections between art, design, and the natural environment. The museum is committed to serving the creative interests of the Indiana community by providing dynamic and enriching experiences through vibrant and diverse programs and venues. These programs are executed with the museum’s expertise and research capabilities in art, historic and environmental preservation, conservation, education, nature, and science and technology. The Indianapolis Museum of Art has built significant and sustained partnerships with other local and statewide arts, education and community organizations that strengthen and impact the state of Indiana in positive ways.
The exhibit that I viewed at the Philadelphia Museum of Art was one about European Art between the years 1100-1500. This was a series of paintings, sculptures, architecture, and tapestry of the Medieval and Early Renaissance as well as objects from the Middle East. This exhibit was an important part of the history of the Philadelphia Museum of Art because for the first time, Italian, Spanish, and Northern European paintings from the John G. Johnson collection were shown. It gave me a good idea of what the paintings were like in these four centuries and reflected ideas of both the east and the west.
This position is located at our Art Institutes of Indianapolis Campus. Is that convenient for you?
The Whitney Museum of American Art has often been referred to a citadel of American Art, partially due to the museums façade, a striking granite building (Figure 1), designed by Bauhaus trained architect Marcel Breuer. The museum perpetuates this reference through its biennial review of contemporary American Art, which the Whitney has become most famous for. The biennial has become since its inception a measure of the state of contemporary art in America today.
First, I arrived at the Phoenix Art Museum and honestly I was going for my grade. But my mind change as soon I get into the lobby. Everyone was exited, some people look really knowledgeable about art, and I heard them talking about pieces of art that Mr. Bierly talk about it. The workers were very friendly and amiable. They always smile at you making you felt welcome and those actions made me feel more comfortable.
For my pilgrimage, I chose to go to the Burke Museum to see the piece of art that inspired the Seahawks’ logo. On our way to the museum, we encountered some challenges. For instance, my pilgrimage group almost got in a car accident while exiting I-5. Additionally, it was very difficult to get to the Burke Museum on time, because we had underestimated the amount of traffic and the amount of time it would take to find parking. It is ridiculous how parking around the Burke Museum costs $15 and entering the Burke Museum, as a student, costs $7.50. I was disappointed at the total cost of entering the Burke Museum. Often, museums are the best place to learn and it frustrates me that not everyone will have the opportunity to appreciate history. Through the increased cost of gaining knowledge, society has made learning selective and optional.
With exhibitions of the most thought-provoking art, The Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago is one of the Nation’s largest facilities devoted to the art of our time (“About the MCA”) . The mission of the MCA is to offer a direct experience to the public of modern day art and living artists. German architect Joseph Paul Kleihues designed the new building with seven times the square feet of its previous facility (“The Building”) . October of 1967 the museum opened its doors to the public for the first time. The Museum of Contemporary Art is a symbol of modern art, culture, and the artist of our time. It is a stepping stone in history and will leave footprints in the heart of Chicago for many generations to come.

Presenter: Welcome. Welcome, to the national radio, bringing you the latest news, and updates. Today we have a special guest speaker, all the way from France... I am happy to present Mr. Daumier, the famous 19th century painter.
Breathe in. Breathe out. Take in the air, the bite of the wind, rush of cars and gaze up at the skyscrapers above. For some, Chicago is just another location, a point on the map, but for me it has a special place in my heart, due to the weather, its stunning beauty and the way it gives me a sense of belonging.
The world whizzed past me in the comfort of the car, the cold blanket of air unable to reach my pale skin through closed windows and blasting heaters. The radio was quiet, the music providing ambience on top of the rumbling of the car’s engine. The last beat of the current song ended, filling the car with silence. After a few heartbeats, on came the next song, and I turned my head to look at the radio, hand outstretching to turn the dial up. As the strong, pulsing notes of the electric guitar filled my car, a smile came on to my face. It pulled me back, all those years ago, to a night I was ready to party and had hoped it would never end.
Revolution is a fundamental change in certain area that carry out by people to pursue for better life. In many cases, revolution is the essential of advancement in human history. Many people believe that revolutionary requires a large group of people, and violence is inevitable to achieve. However, I believe revolution can be peaceful and meaningful, and which can also be expresses through arts. For example, people took picture of the battlefield to protest unethical war. In this paper, I am going to argue that revolution can be expressed through the detail of image, which can be meaningful. It also comes to the conclusion that violence is not the only method of revolution, but a form of art could be even more influence.
