Blog Six- My experience exploring the AIC website

 My experience exploring the AIC website

The AIC website is a very informative website that has taught me a lot about art. Its homepage is simple, but it shows important things. I can find almost everything I want to know about the Art Institute of Chicago on this website. I don't have a lot of experience browsing other art museum websites, so I can't have a lot of comparisons. I especially like the content of the series, which shows the artist, title, date, brief description and related works for each artwork.

There are three images from the collection:

No 1: Train station

Walter Ellison was created the train station in 1935. On the left, white passengers, assisted by black porters, embark on vacations to Florida on southbound trains. On the right, black passengers board train cars heading north to Chicago. For me, this work is a good illustration of the inequalities in the world. Racism still exists. I wish the world could really be equal for everyone.

No 2: The Child’s Bath
Mary Cassatt was created The Child’s Bath in 1893. In this artwork, the mother is helping the little child to take a bath. I can feel the mother's love and warmth in this artwork. The mother is gently scrubbing the child's feet and it looks very harmonious.

No 3: The bedroom
Vincent van Gogh was created The bedroom in 1889. It was created when Van Gogh first owned his own home. This artwork depicts a room with a bed, desk, two chairs, window, and few decorative paintings. I can feel his excitement and happiness to have a room at that time.

Love Madonna and Child Madonna and Child is a painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Filippo Lippi.The date in which it was executed is unknown, but most art historians agree that it was between 1450 and 1465. This art work's subject is about love that is tempera on panel. I can see a mother, a baby, two angles and a landscape painting on the wall.In this painting, I feel that the artist is trying to express more of the relationship between the mother and the child. The mother seems to be praying for her child to come to her quickly, and the angel is helping to send the child to the mother's arms. It is a organic shape and the artist used different lines to outline the figures. In addition, the artist used different colors on the clothes of the characters, he used white for the angle and blue for the mother. On the mother's face, he used tint to make her more vivid.

 Color My favorite color is blue. 💙 The color of the sea is blue, the color of the sky is also blue. Every time I see blue, I feel so comfortable and relaxed. I have always longed to live near a beach or the ocean because I really like to wake up and open the window can see such a blue view. This colorful image is what I like. It has a good color match, just like a rainbow. 🌈 It uses light color and does not make me feel a strong visual impact, but rather it makes me comfortable.
