The Trip To MCA

      






  As many of my class mates heard my opinion on the trip to the art of contemporary art, I thought of the trip as very interesting and also educational. However, there  were some opinions that I gave that got me a nick name, "the devils advocate" ,from Ms gitte. My opinion on the art works in the MCA were more like inventions than arts. I say this may be because I could not see the Piece of the artist on the art work. I could not get to feel like what I felt when saw Van Gogh's Yellow Room. Other than that all the art works were really interesting . I enjoyed the trip all in all. Some of my favorite art works are posted above.

Public art

            The public art tour was extremely fascinating and educational. Alero and I went to seven public arts on Michigan avenue  from our assignment and three more out of the assignment on the tour.
I learned a lot from the tour and from the audio guide on the website. The main point for the existence of public art is for audience  to enjoy art out doors and on their way on their daily life. The art work that fascinated me most was the statue on grand park. The depiction of the native american bows man is very detailed up to the smallest parts of the human body. Other art works that amaze me were The cloud gate /AKA Bean and the Crown fountains. I saw them on the tour and when i listened to the audio guide, I found out that the bean was made of a fragments of stainless steel that are put together to  form the shape that we see now. The amazing thing is that I could not make out the points where the fragments connect to make the bean shape. Similarly the Crown fountains are made of  glass blocks with faces projected on the surface. The faces of 1000 Chicagoans.
  The tour was Amazing.

ARTIST FROM ERITREA

His name is Michel Adonai he is one of the most influencial artists of  my country. He is a very talented artist. Considering the circumstances in my country, Michel Adoni has presented best art works. His works are mostly about the social life and culture of Eritrean people since the armed struggle for their independence. He took three years of fine art lessons after joining the Eritrean liberation front in 1977. Most of his works reflected the armed struggle at that time. After independence in 1991, Michel Adoni is working in a coptic art which concerns with early Christan religion art. Here are some of his works and there is a website one can check if ever interested. http://www.adonaiartwork.com/

After that conversation they had followed by a dance, she couldn't get him out of her mind. He was young , brilliant with brown eyes and short hair. Slim but has strong hands she thought. Oh he is here! she said to her self as she heard Eric's foot steps on the hallway . But what if Arnold finds out,  she doubts her self once again. No he can't ...... she would tell her self  but deep down she knows nothing stays buried for ever. She tells her self this is the last time once again remembering that she said that last time she and Eric were together.
