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.

Movie’s blog

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

     I came up with this idea of sending a simple and humble massage about how friends can be cruel and not trustworthy. Here I was standing in the front and the one that I thought was my friend he betrayed me and he is stabbing me from the back.

National Museum of Mexican Art

   I’ve got to admit that this museum happened to be my favorite museum so far. Despite how humble the museum is, but still got my attention. Reason why, because this what I want to see a museum that represents a particular country and culture. Yes, I am that can of person who interested in seeing a museum that demonstrates and reveals for us foreign students who for some of us have never heard about Mexico before. However, through this museum people will be able to know a lot about the day of the dead. For example, the museum almost about the (the day of the dead) and as far as I know it is Mexican special day. I mean it is possible to see other countries who might celebrate this day of dead. But according to my teacher (Michal) this kind of day it is a Mexican’s day. Additionally, I was shocked about what the people give to their loved ones when they pass way like they would give him or her things that they liked and no matter what kind objects they just give it anyway.

 On the other hand, I was mesmerized by this painting I sat down and stared at it for almost 15 minutes enjoying every details this painting has. For instant, here I clearly can see how sin is covering them all not only that but it is mixture of faithful people and sinful people being together in one photo. At least that what I see here.

 the only thing i thought of this painting was the the classical instruments that on the floor. I love history I love every old piece of everything because I fell nostalgic every time I see an old objects i take a second and think about the video games and the classical moves that i used to see with my brothers as a kid.

 At the end, this was my favorite painting at the museum without a doubt why I said that because here I personally see the hardships that Mexican people facing here in America. Plus, they are working as agriculture meaning without them the city will stink. Yet, they are working very hard to survive. One thing also was attracted me that the desert there . I love seeing I the sand it is part of me as middle eastern guy that where i belong, because I fell nostalgic every time I sees and  immediately remind me of my childhood. no wonder why this painting had Oscar because it is breathtaking that's it.

created COLOR

well, honestly I was thinking for doing Philippines flag . I didn't drew it exactly .but  I fell like I am cocking eggs for the first time I looked at it. however, I will get use to this website so that I can get improved.

Color’s videos

       Previously, at the class we saw multiple videos about color and how many scientists have explained it in the way that they see it. For example, Isaac newton was saying that he found it hard to explain color “is it the color red that what I see by my eyes or this is just my mind telling me to believe it. Other video is taking about how the light of the color white goes into prism and gives the rainbow color. Plus, the color white is the mixture of all color. We also saw one video from India playing with colors on the street. From my understanding that is color can beautify and bring happiness to people.

Chicago cultural center

       It is so funny that I have been living here for more than two years now and yet I have never been to this culture center before. Honestly speaking, I enjoyed everything was there from sculptures, photos and the activities that they do in order to teach people about certain things that we suffer from like taking care refugees who literally need our helps. Despite the weather was a little bit disturbing, but I loved it and who knows maybe with GETE our class might discovered more and more places. Thank you so much Gete.

taxi trip with GETE

   I was so glad that GETE took us for a taxi trip at the river so that we can easily see the buildings shining in a beautiful day thank you GETE. those the buddings that I loved seeing that day specially the opera house. the buildings were incredibly sophisticated and breathtaking.

Colorful Image

         My favorite color is orange and will still orange forever simply because it was my favorite color since I was a little kid. plus, the meaning is very joyous and vibrant color. Orange represents enthusiasm and excitement. Not only that but, back home I used to play in a team and that team had an orange color on the T-shirt. However, the second part of the question was to pick up a colorful image and I did pick up one here we go.

  this is my colorful photo and what I see here is hope and love to the world that has gone crazy since God knows when. In fact, I can see myself in this photo I try always to bring people together with love and respect to each other in this life.

ART.Com

       Well, I have been searching for a good art website to publish and I did find good ones that might be interested for some people. However, there was one issue or problem that I didn’t really like and that issue was the most of the websites that I found were only focusing on photos so I don’t like those websites and I had to find another website that can have interesting features.

     In fact, I found a website by the name of Art.Com which I highly recommend it to my classmates and anyone who wants an easy website to use with an incredible feature on it. Not only, that, but you don’t have even to sign up to see what the website has.

      Speaking of the website’s features, what I really like about the website is everything organized very well like it has artists section, chat, products type as well as best sellers. So it is a really worth looking at this website. Plus, you don’t have to like art to visit this website maybe one day you like to decorate your room and buy a nice photo so there you go art.com can take care of you.

      Finally, I would like everyone to take at least to look at the art.com website it gives you a lot of information and provide such a great feature about almost everything. For example, if you have a homework about certain artist this website will give you his biography as well as the magnificent photos he or she has done.
