Art institute.
Hi everyone,
today we will talk about the Art Institute of Chicago.
My first impression was surprise. I went there once already but i am still amazed by the quantity, diversity and quality of the art piece present in a such small appearing place. I really enjoy the "old" wing. The diversity of the style is just standing. The mix of the biggest names of the Art culture is just amazing. I regret to had such a short time to look at so much. However as much I enjoy the regular side and all those masters pieces, I had a hard time with the modern wing. I am not a very big fan of modern. Well it depend of what you talk about indeed. I really enjoy some modern artists like Salvador Dali and a couple of others. But I do not really understand the point of spreading paint randomly on a canvas. I like the atmosphere of the Institute is great. I really like how each room as its own theme and how close you get bet to the work. It is almost like diving in the paintings or taking part of the sculptures.
Any way, I really enjoy the trip, it was nice to discover this place with the classes and be able to talk to people we are not able to talk to much on a regular basis. I like when we meet in unusual place like this. The class become more interactive, and everyone can share in a better and easier way.
