Hi my name is Sarah Shefferly, and I have created this blog for my STA 112 class. It expresses my Chicago Trip and the art I have basked my eyes upon. Enjoy!

Wake up in the morning feeling like....KESHA
Do we look alike?....
Not really you say?
Well how bout you go drink a bottle of Jack then come back and answer that question...It's a plan!!
Dinner at a local bar....enough said.
It had been a long day, and quite frankly, anything sounded delish at the time, like friken CHICKEN AND WAFFLES! After that fiasco at the bar, Allie and I got kind of crazy back in Millenium Park....
The Presidents Gallery at Harold Washington College
Honestly, my friend, Allie and I couldn't quite figure out this gallery. What was the art in an old coffee cozy? or a rug hanging over a thin string across the room. It was literally located in an office, kind of awkward because people were working at desks while we were tumbling over in silent laughter, but what can you do? This was most definitely the worst gallery I've been to...or possibly the best because Allie and I laughed so hard that we gained a six pack. LOLzzzz
UtREchT
I visited the Utrecht Art Store and was able to create artwork for the rest of the young Chicago artists to see (well kind of, ha). I printed my name on one of the sample pieces of paper for drawing on with sharpie. The Utrecht Art Store was quite neat. It had everything, from sharpies, to many many different kinds of paints, to full blown art desks and easels.
Richard Hawkins Gallery
Beautiful, beautiful pictures (said in a British accent) of artwork from the Richard Hawkins Gallery, which was actually located inside of the Chicago Institute of Arts. This gallery mainly focused on collage, using all sorts of different medias. Quite astonishing if you ask me. Definitely something to see and also on of my favs.
Hildt Galleries
You call this a gallery? my friend and I both laughed. We walked into t he Hildt Gallery to check out the artwork, turns out it's actually a buying and selling of artwork type of gallery. I thought it was best not to walk into the small room with the manager staring at me and start taking pictures of the prized beautiful artwork. So....I walked out side and snapped a shot of the front window! ha!
