This past week I had the pleasure of attending the National Art Education Association conference in Chicago, IL.  I have lots of information to share with you from some of the great sessions I attended.  Coming soon will be updates from my experiences at the conference.

I also spent a few hours in the Art Institute of Chicago.  Right now, there is a special Van Gogh Bedroom paintings exhibition.  This was really fascinating and his paintings are so powerful in person.

While walking through the art museum I took photographs of my favorites, as well as some of the ones that are famous for various reasons.

I snapped some pictures of some of the paintings and sculptures I saw at the Art Institute.  I did not get around to the whole museum, so the quiz does not represent all of art history.

Here are some of my favorites.

I like this one because it is a painted collage of fabric samples. The concept of creating a collage by painting the elements is interesting to me.

Dog chasing each other.. can you see the dogs??!

I love the brushstrokes in the faces.

Love the colors

I love how powerful this image is, showing despair and psychological imprisonment (at least that’s what I get from it.)

Fun times at Thanksgiving!
