I'm in Chicago, Illinois! Yesterday, me and my family got to go to Legoland! It was so much fun! We got to build race cars and race them down tracks. Margeaux made a house on wheels! It was so cute! And we got to see how real lego bricks were made! Me, Margeaux, and my dad saw a lego movie short and there was special effects that made it rain water for about 2 seconds. It was in 3-D, so I got to wear special 3-D glasses.
Today, I went to the Art Institute of Chicago, where I saw all these wonderful paintings. Here are some of the artists I looked at:
- Vincent Van Gogh. He painted dark at first, and then lighter and happier. Also, he painted the bedroom paintings. It's the first time that they're all together!
- Paul Gauguin. He painted a picture with a Cézanne in the background.
- Cézanne. He painted his wife sitting in a yellow chair. She looked serious.
- Pissarro. She paints people doing everyday things, like drinking coffee.
- Toulouse-Lautrec. He painted a picture of ballerinas.
- Seurat. He painted a picture called A Sunday on La Grand Jatte. It's made up of tiny dots.
- Claude Monet. He painted lily pads and haystacks. I have a lily pad painting in my bedroom at our apartment!
Dear Dorothy,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing a little bit of your trip with us. I've always wanted to visit the Art Museum in Chicago and I never have. I now see that I need to make sure I go there soon. I am wondering if you have a favorite artist of all the ones you looked at and why you would choose that one?
I think I have two favorites. Vincent Van Gogh and Claude Monet. Van Gogh because he painted his feelings, so it didn't look real, or just like a photograph. I like Monet because he paints the same thing all over again to see what it looked like in different seasons, or in different amounts of light. From,

I have been to the Legoland California. Another thing to consider is, does Chicago Legoland have something called Mindstorm? It's about programming. I have never seen how Lego Bricks were made. I sometimes think museums may be boring. However, I liked the bedroom pictures.
