I like it!
I've had an awesome time with our art class on the flied trip. It's totally worth the money. Haha.
I've never been in an art museum before and this was my first time, also in Chicago, not my native country.
It is very interesting to see how big the museum is and they have all kinds of art works. From paintings to objects. From Asian to European culture. From the ancient to the modern style.
I kept asking Gitte that if those paintings were real because to me, the Picasso's or Van Gogh's paintings I've seen were through the books or those "copy" or "fake" paintings in my country. So, the first time in my life, I saw the original paintings from the famous artists. Having a chance to get close to it, to see every details on the paintings, how thick the paint is on the canvas and so on. It's just an amazing feeling to me.
I can tell it is so much better to see those art works in real life more than through the books. They inspire me, a lot.
However, we didn't have enough time to do all the assignment of the day and we didn't have a chance to see the Marc Chagall's America Windows, even though I really want to check them out.
Overall, I think the field trip was very successful. I've learned a lot from it. I can't wait for the next Webnesay to tell the class how I felt after this filed trip.
