Often times she is clinically depressed or other times very happy. Also Darlene gets really anxious. These symptoms all together, receive the name of bipolar disorder. It was hard for darlene to deal with this issue, but found some relieve when she started drinking and using drugs.  She moved out of her house and started living with her boyfriend.

SEASON 1. Maya Lin-sculpturist-architect. The park and the skate rink.
SEASON 2. Kara Walker-painter-illusions. scenery and illusions.
SEASON 3. Cai Guo Qiuang-gun powder-drawings.
SEASON 4. Laurie Simmons-uses photography  with objects.

As I was watching the videos I noticed the many styles Artists have. The names mentioned above are some of my favorites, but there was one that caught my attention and it was the asian guy Cai Gua jiuan. It was interesting the way he works on his pieces, he first draw and then arrange gun powder around or in the drawing accordingly  and burns it up, so that when it burns gives it a different finish. He  also uses color gun powder.

Art INSTITUTE REFLECTION,

Of all the field trips that we have made over these last couple months the Art institute was my favorite.  It was interesting to see the actual works that  we have seen in the book, but there were a few pieces that caught my attention and it was the painting that pak  ho and I had to expose. It was The death of a poet, but  the interesting part about it is the way the artist created art based on a personal experience .The art institute was really something else, i loved all the collections. I don't know about you guys, but I really started to think that if it wasn't for this class, I wouldn't ever visit the places that we have visited over the last couple months.   :)

The house of blues  tour was amazing, if you ask me what works amazed  me the most I will say that the violence wall by Roy Ferdinand. I thought that his work was pretty realistic and overwhelming, but I thought it was more a personal experience he probably went through. I kind of related to the actual Chicago violence scene happening in south side. I was overwhelmed because in most of his paintings there were innocent people, woman and children, as it often happens on this gang related shootings.

cultural center

I thought the mini trip to the cultural center was pretty cool. I liked a few of the art works, for example, some of the paintings that had angels and demons involved, but the whole exposition was very interesting.

TRIUMPH TOWER. I decided to post to pictures for two specific reasons, one is because I wanted to show the sears tower because it has been there for a long time , and triumph building, because its one of the newest buildings in Chicago, I personally like this two because they are actually very popular and they are such major visual impacts so i just love them, and i have been in sears tower, guys the structure itself is amazing, but the you can pretty much see CHICAGO from above its awesome.

THE "SEARS" now WILLIS tower.

cant wait

TO SEE YOU ALL TOMORROW .....
