Glog: Chicago Culture Center







   In this class, I had a filed trip to Chicago Culture Center with my group members of Wing, More and Negin. We had a good time and learned a lot there. Chicago Culture Center was opened in 1897 in the Loop, across Michigan Avenue from Millennium Park. During visiting the Chicago Culture Center, we got a better understanding of high culture. In the Chicago Culture Center, we saw some classic paintings, high technology video views and statue. On the other hand, we interviewed about pop culture and high culture of five people that two of them who worked in it and three visitors. According to these interviews, we knew that old people and Arts students follow the pop culture or high culture. They thought that these cultures are close to our daily life, such as popular music, fashion clothes and some famous museums.

   Actually, this is a worth experience of pop culture and high culture. The more we learn, the more we understand about what pop culture and high culture are. In my opinion, the differ of popular culture and high culture is that, popular culture is belongs to general culture that most people like it and accept it, also, it is a new culture. But high culture belongs to a part of culture that people have a professional knowledge. Not anyone can understand what high culture is. It is difficult to get its real meaning, because high culture is a spirit of enjoyment.Even though we don't understand clearly, We should also join these both culture. I think that joining something is much better to learn than thinking something.
