Reflection of Loop Tour

                                 Reflection of loop tours

The tour was successfully completed yesterday companied with my daughter. At the beginning, she didn’t like it, because Sunday is day to watch cartoon and use computer. But when reached at number 14, she was cheerful by the flamingo by Alexander Calder. We enjoyed our tour, but we were also tied. We met some tour guide in the flamingo and the Picasso’s Chicago. We also met a group of people toward to the Bowman and The Spearman who were on a strike.

The audio tour is great and very professional. The explained every single data of arts, the artists and histories. The clear verbal and music make you relax and enjoy the audio tour. They are from the number of the map that we had down loaded it from internet. There is special music for each art side when explained. For example, when they explain the spirit of music, before they say anything, they play some music first, so you will know the following art is about music. When they talk about the number 15 the Logan Memorial statue, first you will hear the feet steps of the house ride. And it is also with the number 17 by Ivan Mestrovic.

The most interesting information is the Picasso’s Chicago. It was a gift for Chicagoans from a Spain artist Pablo Picasso in 1976. At first, no one appreciate of the Picasso, and no one like the rusted color of the abstracted sculpture. It made from cortex steel, and the Chicago Civic Center also make from cortex steel. A member of City Council even wanted to break and remove the Picasso to other place like Europe. But finally the Chicagoans begin to like the Picasso. When you see the Picasso stand from different place to look at the sculpture, it looks like a head of a woman. It is the most important treasury land mark sculpture of Chicago. Well, the kids use the Picasso as a slide now.

I will recommend the tour to everyone. Because it is a great time to go out together with your friends and family. And it is good for you to escape from your work and enjoy and appreciate art. And I strongly recommend you to go to the Crown Fountain in Millennium Park.  It is made by Jaume Plensa who is a Spanish artist. They are not only fountains, but also the sculptures with one thousand of Chicagoans and a pipe of water. They made up with twenty two thousand glasses. Each of them weights 10 pound with LED scream. Each face stay in the scream for five minutes, and then the last minute a stream of water pop out from the mouth of the face. The faces are alive; they can smile and link their eyes. And they use the special effect camera. And you can walk on the water between the scriptures. And the artist wants to express that our human body are made up with 60-70% of water. The water is also recycled.

I learned that the only place that we can touch art is in the public, not in the museum. All of the sculptures are made from metals and concrete. There are most of arts are abstracted. Each one has its own story and feeling. People look at art differently from each other, and even different from the artists.  I also learned that I needed to look at art with imagination. The number fifteen is the Logan Memorial Statue which is actually a public grave for General and his wife. I didn’t know that, and my daughter and I climb over it. I am so scared.

I tried to look for the Loop Tattoo, but I have not found. I didn’t go to the BP Bridge, but I the way how the artist design it. He thought about the disability people first when he designed that. There were several couples were taking their marriage photos in the Millennium Park yesterday. There were lots of people in the Cloud Gate or Bean.

The Sacred Realm---Nanhai Guanyin

         Nanhai Guanyin is from A.D.900, The Taizong ChunHuan year. It was built in the Ngau Kwu post. It destroyed by the wars in China. The religious and believers want to rebuild the Nanhai guangyin in 1996. It is in the same place as it was before. There is a Kannonji for people pray. There are many Nanhai Guanyin statues in China. Nanhai Guanyin is very important of Buddhism in China. there is a day for Nanhai guanyin Day is July of the Luan Calendar.

        Nanhai guanyin is the most important symbol of Buddhism in China. When I was a little girl, I have known about Nanhai Guanyin. Almost every family has a Guanyin statue and set it in the middle of the Altar. People believed that Nanhai Guangyin will make their wish come true, once when they pray with the heart. And there were some of the spread that from A. D. 900 till now. They were spreading that Nanhai Guangyin is real. Some people have seen Nanhai Guanyin. I was there with my family in 2010.

         The opening of Nanhai Guanyin in Pu Tuo Mountain in 1997, there was a straing things happened. The sky was suddenly got cloudy and dark. Then there is a bright opening in the dark cloud like a circle shape. The light shined director to the 108 meters talk Nanhai Guanyin statue. All the people were so supprise.

My favorite paiting

This is my favorite painting from Albrecht Durer. The Title of this painting is called the Hands Apostle. The reason why I chose this paintings is that hands are not easy to draw, and hands look different when you change your positions.I think it is a challenge to draw hands.And we use our hands do so many work, we need to appreciate of our hands. I like the color of this painting, and the hands are hard working hand. when I think about hard working, I remember my father's hands. My father is a farmer, he has worked in his farm all of his life. The skin of his hand is so rough, and thick. all the fingers are so big. He always compares his hands just look like two bunches of the baby bananas.

Relationship between Van Gogh and Gauguin

The relationship between Van Gogh and Gauguin is that they were friends that helped and support each others.they exchanged paintings. Van Gogh liked to painted with Gauguin, because he wanted to learn things from Gauguin.they are befriends, but they were always argued and quarreled.In one of their argument, Van Gogh cut his left lower ear lobe. He wrapped and sent it to a prostitution---Rechel,and same asked to keep it carefully. Then he dragged home. When Gauguin was back at the yellow house, he saw Van Gogh was lying down in the floor with blood in the floor. He took Van Gogh to the hospital,without telling Van Gogh goodbye and left Him. Gauguin had never seen Van Gogh again. Van Gogh was very sad and depressed .
