The Art Institute of Chicago

 

 My experience exploring the AIC website

The AIC website is a richly informative website where I can learn many things about art. At first, the home page shows me the time of the latest art exhibition and recommendations. Of course, I can find the price and address of the AIC on the website. I can preview the information from the website before visiting the museum, so I can visit the artwork with a clear goal without wasting time.  

Also, I have 3 images from the collection:

No.1: Water Lilies (1906)

Claude Monet

French, 1840-1926

Water Lilies is a famous work by Monet. I chose this work first because its rich colors attracted me. If I look closely, I can find the painting technique is very delicate, and I also can see the clear brushstrokes. This is the second point that attracts me.

No.2: Water Lilies Pond (1900)

This artwork was also painted by Monet. This is the pond that Monet liked very much. He would come here to describe this pond at different times every day. I can know how did Monet love this beautiful place. This beautiful pond and water lilies attract me.

No.3 Waterloo Bridge, Sunlight Effect (1903)

Of all the artists I like Monet best. His work is very much to my liking. He used low-saturation colors for this work. It describes the scene after sunrise, such a blurry picture allows the audience to know that the bridge is filled with sunrise fog. I like this sick hazy feeling.
