Reflection about travel to Architecture Tour



I have been in Chicago for six years, but I never travelled to the heart of the city on the Chicago River by ship. On Wednesday afternoon, September, 21, 2011, I finally got the opportunity to take The Chicago River Architecture Tour with my art class’s classmates. Our teacher Ms. Gitte leaded the way and we had a memorable sightseeing trip. The ticket costs $26. We waited in line for the ship which left harbor at 1:30pm. I learnt a lot from the guider on the boat who introduced the history and artists about those art works on sides. It lasts about 75 minutes.
The tour start from the river part near Michigan Ave., and ended in west loop. After that, it made U-turn toward to the Michigan Lake, then to Navy Pier, and then made a U-turn back to a loop. I found that many different buildings which are important for economic development of Chicago. I saw an interesting building which had the shape of a corn. I was impressed by the creativity of those artists who designed and constructed those great artworks.

Katsushika Hokusai



He was Born in Japan(Oct.1760, Died in May 10, 1849, Edo, Japan).

He was a Japanese artist. He has skills for painter, draftsman, printmaker, and book illustrator. Apprenticed to a woodcut engraver at 15 years old. He became a student of the leading Ukiyo-e master, Katsukawa Shunsho, in 1778. After he learned prints, paintings from kotskawa Shunsho, his thirty -six views of Mount Fuji which created between (1826-1833), a series of prints had marked a summit in the history of the Japanese landscape. I like his grandeur of concept and skill of execution, there was little approaching it before and nothing to surpass it later. He had numerous followers, though none had his power of versatility. He was a special artist because he was drawn by diverse artistic influences, among which they must include Chinese art and western art.

The first picture is Katsushika Hokusai's order a hand -painted reproduction of this painting, that is about himself portrait at the age of eighty three. I like that because it looks as a Buddhist Zen meditation master, and it can reflect his painting is magnificently conceived with clear, bright, and profound.

I like his second picture because that is natural world phenomenon. The works named is The Great Wave off Kanagawa. It is his most famous work. This particular woodblock is one of the most recognized works of Japanese art in the world.
