Being from Chicago, I was SUPER excited when my STA 112 teacher told us that we were going to take a trip to Chicago to look at all of the different types of art in the city. When the bus was getting close, seeing the Chicago skyline made me feel right at home. I couldn’t wait to get off the bus and walk around my city. The first place we went to was the Art Institute of Chicago, which is such an amazing museum. It contains so many different genres of art, which was great for us to experience all of them. After the Art Institute, we went to Millennium Park to go see the bean, which is one of my favorite things in Chicago. We also went to the Museum of Contemporary Photography at Columbia College. Then went to see five of the “Pop-up” galleries that were in the city. Also, we went to the Blick art store, which I loved because that is where I bought all of my art supplies in high school.

I took this picture because I HATE Crocs. I think they just look so ugly on people's feet and there was a whole store devoted to them and they make so many different styles of these rubber shoes and I just dont like them at all.

Claes Oldenburg grew up in Chicago and attended Yale University. A lot of his sculptures are of very mundane objects, and are sometimes considered stereotypical. During the 1960’s, Oldenburg became associated with the Pop Art Movement. He did many of his sculptures with his wife Cossje Van Bruggen and their sculptures have been great additions to outdoor public art.
