ARCHITECTURE

     I feel so electrified when I see beautiful architectures. As we all know, architecture helps beautiful

the environment in which we live. It makes a place well organized and planned. My uncle made me

love architecture because he was an architect. I have a lot of experience in life and architecture is

part. My uncle always take me along with him when he gets a contract with a company. I watch him

and his employers whenever they are working on the site. I always wonder how architect makes

architecture and unfortunately, I found out that architecture is made. Moreover architecture became

part of me. Firstly, before we begin architecture, we sketch the plan of the building on paper to know

how the building will look like before we begin to build. I noticed why some buildings get destroyed

and the reason is that, there isn't enough cement when they make concrete for the building. in my

country, we use cement, sand nd wood in architecture. It really takes more time before an architecture

can be constructed. I have been to some famous building in my country which are very nice.

The first time I saw the Flag Staff House which is a place where the Ghana President lives, I felt so

arouse

because the building is so extraor

dinary.

I promised myself that I will build a similar house such as that. In addition, I have been to the

National Theatre in Ghana which is in a triangular form. It is really a beautiful building and it was

built in 1992. 

I felt like I am in heaven when I entered inside the building. The place was more than home, and I

really liked the place.

     What I have learnt in chapter 13 is that, architecture is beautiful and it is n different form and

structure.

PUBLIC ART

CLOUD GATE

     Finally, on the April 26th, I went to the cloud gate by the artist called Anish Kapoor in 2004 with Jenel. There were a lot of people at the cloud gate. I was so excited to see the artwork because it was fun there. The artwork looks like an egg and it was made with stainless steel.

PUBLIC ART

AGORA

     In addition, on my way home, I saw the Agora by Magdalena Abakonwicz in the 2006, that is eleven years ago. It is located at Michigan Ave at Roosevelt Rd. The artwork is a sculpture, and it is a very tall and huge. I got scared and shocked when I got closer to the artwork. The artwork shows different direction of walking. I thought the artwork was made with wood. but it was like iron.

PUBLIC ART

FLAMINGO

     Thirdly, I was going to my mom's place, on my way going, I saw the Flamingo which is also located at Dearborn and Adams street by the artist called Alexander Calder in the year 1914. This artwork is an abstract and a sculpture. It is also red in color which marks for danger. I stood there quietly watching this artwork because I didn't know what it is, so I was trying to figure what the artwork is.

 

Picasso

Secondly, I went to the Picasso which is also located at 50W. Washington st. at Dearborn and Washington by an artist called Pablo Picasso. It was awesome seeing the artwork because I always have some kind of inner joy whenever I see public art. The artwork is in a form of sculpture work, and it's very tall and huge.

Public Art Reflection

Art is beautiful, I love public art because is so much fun especially when we're in a group or with someone. Firstly, I went to the monument with standing beast by an artist called Jean Dubuffet with my mom and my sister. It is located at 100W. Randolph st, Clark and Randolph. I got attracted by the artwork by its color and shape when I was far from it. I was happy to see the artwork, but unfortunately, I didn't like it again when I entered inside the artwork because the smell there was really terrible.
