MCA reflection

We went to MCA museum last week. That is a nice and huge building build on Chicago street. It is a contemporary art museum. We had see many interesting things over there, such as painting, architecture and photography. Many art works were after 1960. The most memorable for me is IAIN BAXTER . Artist is Emissions, this art work is about animals. The artist put animal specimens for people to enjoy. It was very interesting. Many art works from this museum I see were just from our life. Also they sold many interesting small gift at gift shop. It is a nice and interesting place for visit. I will go back again in the future!

Shadow is a interesting thing around our's life, but alot of people are not care of it. this shadow picture is about myself. I like it because it looks like very mystery. The ground of this picture is my carpet. I like this color.

Architectural Experience

I have a very good experience at Sears tower, which called willis tower now. It is a most famous and tallest building at Chicago. First time when i traveled there. I was very superised because the elevator at willis tower are so fast. From labby to 98 floors only take about 40 seconds. It is so unbliveble. I had see a ten minutes video about the buiding's information and how they made it. when I got 98 floor. The only things you saw is vast ground, huge lake and huge sky. Also you can see whole Chicago. Everythings become very small when you watch ground from the skydeck. People are like emmets. I had very good experience at willis tower.

MaYa Lin

Maya Lin was a Chinese American. She born at Athens Ohio. Maya Lin is one of the most prominent achitects in the 21st century. Although she started out in the 20st century, her vision and focus was always on how the space needed to be in the future and what it meant to people. She tried to focus less on how politics influenced desogn but more on what emotions the space would create and what it would symbolize to the user. Her belief in a space being connected and the transition from inside to outside being fluid, coupled with what a space means, has led her to create some very memorable designs. Along with architectural projucts, Maya Lin also worked on several sculptures. Below is a list of Maya Lin's most significant work. Her most important works are Vietnam Veterans Memorial at Washinton, D.C. and Civil Rights Memorial, Montgomery Alabama.
