Question number 9

 1-Artists create extraordinary versions of ordinary object.

 The artist Kevin Van Aelst  make the extraordinary from the ordinary. He use the commons artifacts from the real life to make an extraordinary art work. 

Exploring the Website AIC

        Well, exploring the page was fun and boring at the same time. At first, when I started doing the homework I thought so boring and I cannot lie some collections were boring for me; I do not know why they were art. However, in explore collection the Portraits and mythology theme were interested.  Some collections were good and I discovered that my style was colorful and kind antiques sculptures because the paintings did not attract me too much. The one I liked most is call Chupicuaro and is from my country and like 3 hours from my city, but this is not why I like it.  The all sculpture is awesome.

 Looking, all the website make me learned different kinds of art, but most important for me I starting looking what kind of art is more interesting for me. 

Loop Tour

Loop Tour

         The loop tour was so interesting.  I did the loop tour by myself and it was not so good because when I asked the people to take me a picture and each work it was a challenge, some were really bad taking pictures and some just told me "no thank you". In despite of that, it was really knowledge.  Usually I do not walk to much in the loop and because of that I did not knew the art that is in the loop. However, I started the tour and the information in the audio was really helpful and interesting. It just said a brief history and some details, but I was hoping the audio said more information because and some works I wanted to know more. I cheat I little beat because I didn’t start in the number one, for walked less instead I started in number 8 and the go to number 1 and because of that I was jumping the audio, but that didn’t distract me from the information. I was so interested in what the information said. Like, in the Millenium Park, the information was interesting I think that and the Picasso’s work were the most important, for me. I learned a lot in the tour like the Picasso work was so controversial and that are many art work that were made for remember people. When I arrived to my house I told my sister how awesome the tour was and I recommend my sister to do it because she loves all of this things.  

                                     The Peristyle 

I saw it before , but i didn't have idea that this bring the past and it's a replica.

I knew this before, so many times, but i didn't know that the idea of the artist was to express the idea that the human body is made most with water.

Crow Fountain 

Cloud Gate

We W

I started the tour with this work aI started the tour with this work and it was i challenge because all the people who took me the picture were really bad taking picture, so i take it by myself and i don't show in the picture, but i want to show because it's the art work that i most liked. it's so colorful  and so pretty and the idea how the artist create it was good. Monument with Standing Beast.

Picasso's Chicago is made for the famous artist Pablo Picasso and it was made it exactly for the city of Chicago for free. In the firsts days it was so controversial. However, now is the most famous and the one the people more like it. I can believe that it was orange and it's true for me looks like woman.

Miro's Chicago

 Sorry, this picture don't show the work complete. However, it was the one that I liked less because i think that is a copy from the Picasso. I know that is not a copy, but is similar idea. It is in front of the Picasso's and some people compered like i did.

Four Seasons

Flamingo

 Is the largest piece that you can walk. I always asked with it was called Flamingo because it doesn't looked like flamingo. Well, i learned that it was called just more for abstract.

          Well, the loop tour was nice and at the same time tired and this is just a little bit of what i learned in the loop tour.

           

Boat Ride

      Definitely the boat tour was great for me. I really liked it. It was the first time doing a boat tour and I was surprising with myself that I had five years living here in Chicago and most of the buildings I never notice how they look or the structure. I just saw a lot of building without notice them. However, after this tour I am sure that I will stop to look the buildings and saw the structure. Well I always wanted to do a boat trip, but I never did it because going by myself is not fun. I enjoyed going with my classmates. In the tour were a lot of buildings I really liked
 

 This building is not big and pretty, but it has something that made it interesting and that really like me. It made his own air condition from the water. I think that is like green architecture. Like the reading in the book The Michelle Kaufmanns Glidehouse.

 This one is the one I most liked. The structure the material, everything is wondefull in the bulding. In the tour the lady said that is the one, that is most thinny on the top. Is like the Wainwright Building in the book. I think this building is steel-frame construction.

This building is the longest building or this is what I heard from the lady. Is call Merchandise Mart.

This building is call Trump International Hotel & Tower and surprisingly I never saw this building before. It sounds crazy, but in the tour was the first time I saw and despite I do not like tall, new and fancy buildings I really like this one. I think the construction is call cast-iron construction. I like more old fashion constructions.  

The Sacred Realm "Bahai Temple"

        The Bahai Temple is here in the north side of Chicago. I  think that Bahai Temple will be in the theme "The Sacred Realm." 

Is a temple and it serve a bahai religion. Is not exactly a religion because is for all people and is open to all the public. This place is reserved for worship this means that is open to all religious and just one is putting together. Here doesn't matter if you are catholic, islamic etc...  is to put together the people. With just one idea "one god". The First Bahai temple was made in iran for Mirza Husayn'Ali (1817-1892) an arabic person that was called "The glory of God"  There are just 9 temples in all over the world and this one in chicago is considered the one most important. It have 9 entrance and all entrance are the principal. it have  9 gardens too, 9 windows all is made with 9. 

 The symbol showed on the picture is on the top of the temple and is the representation of a sentence in Arab that means or entirely glorious glory. And is the most important symbol in the temple. 

In the tracery of the towers are intertwined all religious symbols from the past, showing every religious person "Welcome to this temple exemplifies the universal brotherhood."

I think that the Bahai Temple match the theme "The Sacred Realm" because was made for rituals of worship and was for prayer someone. And at that years they really don't know that will be a famous architectural temple. 

Michelangelo

Tower of Pisa

            Well, my story in an architectural experience is not good. I traveled like 4 hours to get to the city to see the famous Tower of Pisa and i was so anxious to see it. When i arrived to the city i needed to walk because you cannot enter in car. I walked like 15 min and when i saw the first expression was like ok is kind of tall is inclined, but this it I took a picture an i walked for see it more closed it. The truth is that was so unsatisfied because i imagined something tall and big. However, i gave a second chance and i entered well, it was just a lot of small thinning escalators you just go up in a small size in the top was nothing and the view was horrible. The architecture inside was almost falling down. Well, it nice because is inclined, but after i go down to the tower i just said lets go to shopping. The tower of pisa is so famous, but for me is not so awesome like the people said.
