After Class - March 4th 2009

In class we really reviewed the last chapter, going more in depth into the various artists style. What I found particularly interesting was talking about Frank Loyd Wright. He actually did a lot of work here in Wisconsin that I have visited. One particularly close item that is VERY unique is the church he designed in Racine, WI. It's a short building, with long 'thorns' sticking out from the curved top, very hard to discribe but it's often called the 'space ship' church. He did work for another church in Wisconsin that has a similar style to it ( http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/tt/2fe6a/ ). But this time a diffrent denomonation and a unique white and blue style, not like the dark brown of the one in Racine. Another building that can be visited, probably with a longer drive, is in Lake Geneva Wisconsin. Here, a student of Mr Wright designed the library over looking the lake. It's almost as if the characteristics normaly in Wright's work are now just over emphasized. If you are looking for directions or more buildings in Wisconsin, just ask!

Still no answer about the tea pots...? (read previous journal entry)
