WATCH THIS BETCH!!!!

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!

Chicago's Sights and Brights

Gorgeous afternoon in Chicago. I remember taking this picture because of the sudden reflection that the buildings blinded into my eyes, as if they were calling me to turn and look at them. Ha, crazy, but true.

Another one of Chicago's many artistical doings. This building says Think Pink, which was shining bright against the evening sky. I thought it was a great contribution towards breast cancer. Thank you Chicago!

I'm crazy. What can I say? The background is actually one of the tall pillar buildings in Millenium Park, pretty cool, huh?

Contemporary Photograph Museum: Steel Worker & Juan Pachecho

This is a photograph of  a steel worker, south Chicago, from Changing Chicago Project, 1987. Collection of the MaCP.

This photograph is really intriguing due to Juan Pachecho's (the photographer) style. It's name is De Colores, 2007.

Contemporary Photograph Museum: A Sea of Humanity

This photograph portrays a sea of humanity estimated at 100,000 people, assemble in Plaza to support immigration rights, March 10, 2006.

The Bean!!!

One of Chicago's monumental sculptures; THE BEAN. It was so much bigger in person and I truly enjoyed just standing there staring at it. Definitely one of my favorite pieces of art in this beautiful Windy City.

Donald Young Gallery

I really enjoyed this piece from the Donald Young Gallery. For several reasons: 1) it's simplicity and the way the black and white feel really brings the ordinary into mysterious 2) It seems to portray a story that could leave the imagination running wild.

State Street Gallery

I was quite proud of myself for taking this picture through a window, because it is actually a really interesting and intriguing picture. It portrays many different paintings at different angles and it gives one  a glimpse of the other side of the gallery and the bustling street outside.

State Street Gallery

These two pieces of artwork were also taken from the State Street Gallery. As one can see it was mainly a oil painting gallery. I just wish it wasn't closed!

State Street Gallery

Beautiful pictures taken from the State Street Gallery. These paintings were based off of oil paintings. They were very much on the nature side. I am not going to lie, this particular gallery was actually closed, but I got real close to the window and took some pictures because this was a gallery that my friend and I actually wanted to take a look around in!

Donald Young Gallery

This is also a piece from the Donald Young Gallery. I personally thought it was interesting because of its quiet simplicity. I love those McDonald $1 sundaes! It intrigued me that this empty cup would be awesome to look at, ha I loved it!

Donald Young Gallery

This piece of artwork was found in the Donald Young Gallery up on Michigan Avenue. It is a picture of fruit. Mainly black and white then the food is colored. It was fairly simple, yet still quite interesting.

Maria Elena

This beautiful bow represents stature. Ashley Thomas, the artist, believed that tying a bow together represented stature. Thus she named this artwork, "Maria Elena". I found it in the Sullivan Galleries down near Monroe Street

The Interior of a Palm House on the Pauneinal near Potsdam, 1834

This painting is by a German painter named Carl Blechan, he used oil on canvas and lived from 1798 unil 1840. It's named "The Interior of a Palm House on the Pauneinal near Potsdam" 1834. I took notice in this piece of art because of the intricate colors and designs used.

View of a Grounds of a Villa Near

This painting reflects on the beauty of a simple oil on canvas piece. I took this picture in the Chicago Institute of Art. It is called "View of the Grounds of a Villa Near" by Richard Parkes Bonington in Florence, 1826. He was part of the english impressionists.

Morning, 1760

This is a photograph that was hanging in the contemporary art section of the Chicago Institute of Arts. It was painted by Claude-Joseph Vernet, named "Morning, 1760". It is part of the European art rave. Vernet is known as one of the most celebrated French Landscape and marine painters. I took interest in this paintings beautiful oil on canvas artwork.

Public Notice 3

This picture was taken in the Chicago Institute of Arts. It is a staircase created by Jitish Kallat in 2010 called Public Notice 3. Kallat is an Indian, born in '74. This piece expresses commentary on religious  tolerance and it was made by using rubber, plastic, LED lamps, and wire.  I was initially enticed by this work of art because of the religious quotes, and how it is all worked into a staircase, where people walk all over. Plus, I love neon.
