hand shadow

This is my hand shadow shot at my bedroom. When I was a little child, I like to make this kind of hand shadow with my friends. That gave me lots of fun. Can you guess what animal I want to make? 

Frank Lloyd Wright

 Frank Lloyd Wright 
is the greatest American architect of his time, and the greatest designer of residential architecture.

"Prairie Houses" are his trademark, most of the buildings can be found in the suburbs of Chicago (Oak Park).

His liked to build the buildings with materials native to the immediate surrounds, so that the houses blend with their environments.

Fallingwrater,which built in 1936 (picture2),in Bear Run, Pennsylvania is the culmination of his use of abstract, geometric forms as part of a mature expression of man's place in nature. He made the building in harmony with the natural world.It's hard to tell where nature ends and                         the man-made structure begins.

Marina City

Most buildings in downtown are destroyed by the Great Chicago Fire in 1871,except the Water Tower. After that, many architects designed and rebuilt the the city with many new building styles.

Last week's Water Taxi tour was impressed me so much. Through the fieldtrip, I had seen many awesome buildings, especially the Marina City. The Marina City is on State Street, which consists of two corncob-shaped buildings.Its building style is Mid-Century Modernism.

the blooming flowers

   
         

This was one of my handiwork during my school time. The tutor guided all of our classmates to make it. Cardboard, glossy paper, razor blade and staples were the essential materials for making this. First,found a picture you like, and enlarged it in a copier.Used the staples to stick it on the cardboard, and picked out the shade with the razor blade, then came out the blooming flowers. This was my first time to make such paper work, although spent a lot of time, I felt very good.
