Since I've just migrated to Chicago for half year, this is the first time I went to The Art Institute of Chicago. Therefore, I was full of excitement and expectation during the trip.
Before the field trip, we did a web hunting and collected some interested artworks. Actually, some of my chosen works had been seen so closely that impressed me a lot. From George Seurat's A Sunday on La Grande Jatte to Van Gogh's Self-Portrait, from Claude Monet's Water Lilies to Paul Gauguin 's Tahitian landscapes'artworks,from Pablo Picasso's The Old Guitarist to Georgia O'Keefe's Sky Above Clouds IV, I had no time to take in the scene as a whole, just glanced over things hurriedly. And that was one of the pity things during that trip.
Beside that, I'd found many interesting points about this trip. Luckily, I'd seen a lady painting on one of the galleries. She was painting so carefully that I didn't dare to come close to her. Another interesting thing happened at a time when I discussed an artwork with my partner, an elder man came close to us and we exchanged some ideas about that artwork. That was a good experience. Last but not least, I had to say the real artworks we captured in the museum was totally different from the ones that we observed on the books. I surely will come back again!
