Noura Bouzo

        She was graduated from London as a fine art and had her master in History. then Noura had won an award’s artist of the 2015. In fact, Noura was not making a lot contemporary art but she did one contemporary art’s project and that was the Popcorn project.

 

However, Noura has focused and put all the effort into an Islamic and culture style, which she loves to paint about. Plus, that was the uniqueness of her work she would make an Arabic sentence on some pieces of glasses with her own handwrite.

At the end, Noura nowadays are preparing for a huge exhibition coming soon in Roma, Italy to reveal her new works. By the way, I talked to Noura and she was so happy that I am showing her projects to you guys because I remember her back home I attended one of her exhibition in my city in 2013.

thank you

MCA

      My trip to the Museum of Contemporary Art was one of the best museum I’ve attended so far, because the I saw and understood the term “contemporary art”, which is an art from the 21 century and many artists use it to send usually a political or social issues. For example, I have seen on photo for a naked woman who was struggling to understand why the people don’t mind to see a naked woman in the night club and do mind to see a naked woman in the street.

 

Here I loved seeing that room which was full of lights and there were so movies in the rooms I didn’t understand what was the messages behind those movies, but they were incredibly fascinating just to see them. Plus, those movies were from the 90s maybe there was a connection between the movies and the Contemporary Art which I couldn’t understand.

 

 I have chosen this photo to be my best image in that museum, which is a full moon that crapped my attention and unsurprisingly I took five minutes and just stared at the moon.

Honestly speaking I was about to cry simply because that moon has many stories to be told but most of the human being don’t understand him.

Finally, I enjoyed the museum so much and for sure I am going to visit that museum soon or later inshallah.

ARTEMISIA

    It is a story of a seventeen-year-old female by the name of Artemisia Gentileschi who is a nun in the catholic church in Italy. Artemisia always has this talent of doing art, she would hide a micro mirror and before she goes to bed she would take of her clothes and draw her body. 

 Sadly, Artemisia was caught up by some of the nuns and they were so mad at her which led her father to take her away from the church in order to discover her talent in art. In fact, when Artemisia left the church she became well known for her art work. Plus, she saw at the beach a great artist who is also famous guy that Artemisia loves to work with him. But he his ignorant and selfish didn’t let him give this young girl a chance to show him her talent. 

However, he saw her work and fallen in love with both Artemisia’s work and beauty which she didn’t like to date this old artist. Things have gotten serious when one day she was with him in the room and he raped her and was sentenced two years at the jail.

 . At the end, Artemisia with all this problem and streets that she had been through she stood up and start drawing more and more. Eventually, she was offered a job to do wall work in churches and later one became one of the best artist who lived in that small area where she grew up in

Museum trip

AIC

    My first impression was just like wooooooow when I saw that first floor full with sculptures because I have been living here in Chicago and I have never thought of going to this unreadable museum. Plus, one thing that I love the most at the beginning was how beautifully and well organized the museum was.

     I have learned that the museum even has a specific section place for photography art which I wasn’t expecting to see, because back in my mind museum only photos and sculptures but I guess I was wrong so far this is the first place where I saw a huge section for photography art. The second thing I learned was that if anybody wants to practice and draw some photos like the ones in the walls he or she has to ask for a permission from the museum and to apply for this kind of participation.

Salih and I both agreed that this photo was unbelievably the best photo we saw at the museum despite all the pretty images we came across. The reason why I loved it so much because if one gets closer one can see how the artist was so picky with the shadows and the greens.  If I have to write any comments to any artists, I would absolutely pick Seurat. On other words, if I hadn’t seen the image above I would have never talked about Seurat. simply the guy is miraculously talented and well known all over the world because of his “Sunday at La Grande Jatte” and I myself start reading a lot about him. 

   

However, my favorite photo was this lady right here. I can’t imagine how much I fallen in love with is heavenly work right here. I felt like this fancy woman has many stories to be told like success and suffering. Not mentioning the fact that I loved her because her dress and jacket. Not only that but, the black dark hair with the white skin. Simply this lady just stole my mind Lool. 

The poem

 Every word every whisper
My soul always carries them for you
Every tear every joy
I always run and tell them to you
And you are my heart and my hope
Tell me what's with you why are you silent?
Do tell my heart, Do tell my hope, tell me what's the secret?
Do tell my heart, Do tell my hope, tell me what's the secret?
What? What?

my overall impressions is that everyone who has never been to the AIC soon or later he or she must go because there are some pieces of art needs to be appreciated.

Chicago Cultural Center

Norman Lewis

    Lewis was not only an important member of the Harlem art community, but an active contributor to abstract expressionist innovation that generated immense excitement among avant-garde artists downtown.

     Here is my favorite photo that Lewis has done. Plus, it has been said that this photo has do to with the hardships that black people had been through from the society where they live in. I can see how desperate and lost this guy is felling here. It was not hard for Lewis to forget what his people experienced and felt left out for years and years

Lewis was indeed an inspirational and ambitious artist who gained the love of the black people after he down one of the most controversial photo that was shocked millions of people around the world. Again the guy saw his people being killed and discriminated against and he had no other chose to defiant his people accept by his skills. However, he had apologized later for this photo and said artists shouldn’t mix politics with art.

AIC

 

     My experience with AIC was incredibly useful and easy to discover the website. For example, before I used this website I was thinking of one website who can be really well organized so that I can look at things freely of course the AIC provided this to me. Not only that, if you anyone wants to see a specific art and where it come from or which era is this art was in. simply scroll down till you see the collection part and by clicking on it you can see what type of art people liked and information is written on every one of it.

Plus, I am so excited to go with my classmates and see this museum because I am pretty sure that I will be shocked by the pieces of art and the sculptures that they have. Despite the fact that I found some difficulties trying to send photos to the teacher and I couldn’t, but since the website is so easy to use I figured it out.

Public Art Tour Project 

    at the beginning I want to apologize that most of the photos were taking selfies, but I did go there after class and had them done in one day. isn’t that amazing Gete?Lol Now before I head there I was thinking which ones should I take or which ones are nice. of course, I got these and I think that they are pretty much the best at the loop in my personal perspective. however, I opened the website that show me where the art located and not only that but when did this peace of arts created and released. I like it so much because it made it easier for me to know all the information. On top of that, I have to admit that I am now more educated about Chicago’s arts and since that day if I see a piece of art I have to stop and read or at least take a photo that of course because of the incredible efforts that Get done for us. Thank you
