Movie Synopsis

The movie "Vincent and Theo" focuses on the relationship between Vincent and his brother, Theo, and it also shows that not only Vincent that has a problem with his life but also his brother. Both of them struggle for their own point-of-view. For example, Theo works in an art gallery in France, and most of his job is to sell the painting by describing and explaining why each artwork has an unique or beautiful. However, most of the paintings that he sells are not his style, and he asks the owner of the gallery a couple time that he wants to open his own art gallery. Because of lacking of finance support, he cannot persuade his expectation. Until the death of Vincent, he decides to open one for Vincent and to present Vincent's effort, and it becomes very successful. One to two years later, Theo gets sick and passes away follow Vincent. Moreover, as we have studied about Vincent in class, we knew that Vincent Van Gogh's life is very different and difficult. Vincent works very hard to express what he see. As a result, his hard work pays him off by becoming one of the famous paint of the century.

The Art Institute of Chicago

The Art Institute trip was really fun even if I got lost with our group. At the beginning, I walk exactly what Gitte's say, but somehow I totally cannot find where our group is. I asked the security "Did you the student group that walk pass this way?", she pointed the way, and I walk follow what she said. However, I did not find you guy. Thus, I opened our assignment, I tried to find out where you guys should go next, and I finally got it. The assignment said that our group would be at third floor, so I walked and I tried to find where the third floor is. I figure it out that the third floor is temporary close, so I had no idea where the group is. Therefore, I decided to walk on our own. I had seen some painting that is in our textbook also its name "kids bath". I walked back, and this time I spent a lot of time on Vincent's painting, and there is one that stand out to me the most is the one that I post below
The trip was awesome, I loved it

The Boat Trip

The boat trip was really fun because I like to be on the boat. Back in Thailand, I used to take a ferry everyday morning to go to school, and I thought that since most people decide to buy a car, there is a lot of pollution on street. Therefore, one way that I can get rid of this kind of pollution is to take the boat trip. I really like the Chicago river though because the river is so gentle, so when we were on the boat, we could listen to the speaker very well. The speaker also made a lot of joke, so it made the trip amusingly. From the past until now, architectures have tried to think, alter and modify the load-bearing structure, so we can have the tall skyscrapers and the beautiful bridges. My favorite building is the Civic Opera house because of the great lovely history. Chicago architecture is importance because Chicago is the biggest city that is located in between east and west, so when people travel to and stop by, they also develop and improve their knowledge from the outstanding landscape throughout their trip. Actually, there are a couple buildings that make me exciting when I decided to move here, such as 77 W Wacker Dr. and the Hardrock Hotel building. I wish if I have more time,  I really want to visit those buildings because each one has their own unique.

Time

Shadow can represent time, so my favorite part of the day is morning. Many time when I wake up in the morning and I walk directly to the lake. Then, I sit there next to the Michigan lake, and look as far as I can reach. The Michigan lake in the morning is so beautiful.

Chicago walk to "SHIFT"

Color can imply people's emotion, and color also can heal our mind. In both way, colors can be advantaged if we use it wisely. There are so many color, but the one that I like the most is dark blue. I personally like blue because It usually means cool or calm. my water canteen is also blue. Moreover, in my culture, colors have a lot of effect on people because you can see from the argue between the red and yellow shirt last year, and many of them are still arguing.

The exhibit was really fun though. I like the middle one the most because it show me when the light is mixed, it becomes white. while I was walking into this exhibit, I felt like I move to another part of the world that it can be rarely touch by other person. Sometimes I like to be personal, so I can concentrate upon my thought 100 percent.
