Architectural site

 Architectural site

First of all, architectural art is some kind of physical construction. 

That is an important aspect of public life. 

I also see a unique opportunity offered by architectural art that engages the whole 

community in creativity. 

For instance, Coliseum, Rome (Italy).

Coliseum is considered as one of the greatest 

architectural feats achieved in ancient civilizations. 

The passive construction practices of design and 

shape have been the inspiration for many modern-day stadiums. 

Coliseum built with reinforced concrete and stone.

Following student art exhibit where we went in the first floor at Harold Washington College. I am fascinated by this work Santa muerte of Carlos Navarro. the artist tried to allow people to connect through the over-naturalist. It’s originally simple paint oil on canvas. I really like this work because it is explain that Santa muerte cannot save herself from death.

Reflection MCA

Reflection MCA 

         MCA is truly a great gallery. The artists perform independently.  They have such a worthwhile 

exhibition. There are some beautiful artworks and some unique designs that are classified as 

contemporary art. I would love to get another visit to seeing the installation of the banana peels. It is 

not a fantastic artwork as well as plenty of room full of fine exhibits and some beautiful installations. 

However as modern or contemporary art the banana peels is thoughtful or merely representational.

The Girl with a Pearl

        The girl with a pearl is a young beautiful servant that inspired a famous artist when he painted the girl oil on canvas. Before, there is no historical evidence between the painter and his family, his wife didn’t appreciate his artworks, but the servant was really appreciated. So the artist who was Johannes Vermeer began to teach the servant how to separate color and how to define color by the window when the sun comes through. As she loved Johannes Vermeer painting, Van Ruijven a friend of the artist asked Vermeer to paint the servant, the artist didn't hesitate and that was the end of the servant days to clean Vermeer's studio which his wife Catharina never entered.

      I love this movie, it is a little slow but the actors are incredible, they transmit a lot of things without words. I watched this movie several times. I love the way the servant stays silent and never react to her mistress. Perhaps, I understanding the silences has a deep meaning and how words are not always needed to argue.  You should see that movie!
