In this presentation, I talked about a talented young girl from Saudi Arabia. Sara is an amazing artist because her art is about changing reality into paintings. 

She uses objects in her artwork as well. I showed some of her best art works in the presentation. I also played a video from a famous Saudi song. In that video she designed the whole place

MCA field trip was unforgettable trip for me. This museum is the best museum I ever been to. It is an amazing museum, I enjoyed visiting every exhibitions especially  the room with the video projects. That was art!!!! It was fascinating to stand in the middle of that room and watch the place moving. I also liked the gift shop, they have a unique stuff. I took an amazing pictures in the MCA museum. It is a great place to take photos. 

My favorite exhibition in the museum is this  :

These pictures are showing a runaway posters. These posters is from the 19s. When slaves run, their owners would do this posters to track them. It is a painful picture. 

AIC Webhunt

AIC Web hunt

I thought it will be hard doing this project, but it turned up to be fun and easy. The website was well organized. I start creating  online gallery after I looked around the website. I choose arts from different collection such as, African, American, Asian, modern and photography.  The website has over 33.000 artwork and 15 collection. This is amazing because it was really easy to look for anything. 

For my collection I chose 10 artwork that I like the most. I wish if I could add more.

Here is the like for my collection:

Smart Museum of art (Team Project)

Smart Museum of art

I went to the smart museum of art with my classmates to do the team project two weeks ago. The museum was really far, but when I went there it turned up to be an amazing museum. I fact, it is one of the most beautiful museums I ever been too. The campus was really big and amazing. Te museum also was well organized and it had a lot of modern art works. I fell in love with a couple of art works in the museum. It was a great experience. I enjoyed going there and I would visit it again. 

I was amazed by this art works.

Artist Project II: Girl with the pearl earring.

For the artist project I chose "Girl with the pearl earring" movie. I chose it because I saw it before and because I like Scarlett Johansson. The movie is talking about a young beautiful maid called Griet, she works at a famous artist house called Johannes Varmeer. They fall in love with each other and the artist make her became his assistant. Then Johannes Varmeerasks her to be the model of his painting. The painting is Girl with the pearl earring. This painting is one of the most famous paintings now.  I really enjoy watching this movie. It is full with art and really good story.

The Art Institute of Chicago Reflection

The art institute of Chicago is one of the most famous museums. Since I came to Chicago I always heard good things about it, but I never got the chance to go there. Unfortunately, I was absent in the day my class went there,but I went there two days ago. My experience there was unforgettable. I saw a lot of Van Gogh art works. His work is amazing. There were a whole exhibit for his art works. The museum had an Asian/Himalayan exhibit which was beautiful as well. I also, saw the art work that my classmates discuss in our class last Wednesday. I finally understand why Omar was so amazed by it. It is amazing. I went there alone so I did not discuss anything. 

My favorite work.

I love the little details in this art work. 

The Art of Norman Lewis

Norman Lewis

This was my second time at Chicago Cultural Center, but this time we went to see Norman Lewis artworks. We saw more than 100 artworks for him. Norman Lewis is the innovator of abstract expressionism. What's so unique about Lewis is that he likes to use powerful live color palette and characteristic style. Since 20th century people appreciated Norman works. Norman faces in his work on the barrier of racism because he is black. Norman is politically-conscious activist. 

I was amazed by some of his artwork, specially the three black paintings.
