I was utterly astounded as I walked into the store of Antique Art Chicago. I was given a PowerPoint on different types of Sculpture Artifacts to present to my class, so my mother suggested to me to go to an authentic store to study for my assignment . When I went to the library I didn’t find what I was looking for, so when I went to this Antique Art Chicago store, I brought a camera to take pictures of all of the Antique Bookcases. I really got some good shots. One photograph was a statue of a man holding a golden apple; I assume it was considered a Sculpture Artifacts. That must be a unique feature in Greek mythology. As I looked around the tiny but crowded room, colors were flying all around me, and when I would rotate left, something on the right would distract me. I didn’t know where to turn or where to start looking, since everything was purely gorgeous and I appreciated all of the paintings I saw. Soon there after the only things I saw was the blinding flashes of my camera. I hoarded all of the pictures I took on the laptop computer, and from there I put it on my PowerPoint. My class loved my assignment when it was presented to the class , and even better, my teacher gave me an A+ for effort, creativeness, Antique Chairs, and appearance . That was the most fun assignment I have ever worked on for class !
One morning I was strolling down the streets, just walking aimlessly and taking in all the fresh air and the sights of that beautiful day. While I was not very distance from my own home, a sign attracted my attention from across the street. It was red and large , and if that was not what attracted my interest , the actual name of the shop sure did. It was called, “All Amazing and Astounding Antique Art Chicago.” The only thing that I could think of then was ‘good use of alliteration!’ Wow. I had no option but to cross the road and stroll in; at least look around a bit. When I entered the shop I was really astonished. The Antique Bookcases there was a sight to take in , everything was beautiful and captivating. Thoughts swirling around my head were ‘my husband is going to be so mad at me; he is not going to like it.’ I mean, clearly , which husband would enjoy their wife spending literally thousands of dollars just to acquire Sculpture Artifacts and Antique Bookcases? That was precisely what I did, and in the end of our argument I convinced my husband that he too has things to gain out of my purchases. After all, doesn’t everybody need some place to eat and somewhere to sit? My motto has always been, “out with the old and in with the new.”
Every year in autumn there is an art demonstration. I am not really gifted in anything that has to do with art, but what I am gifted in is looking and shopping. I love going to those shows! In three days is the Antique Art Chicago show and I wouldn’t miss it for the world. I even played hooky at school for that, and when the day came I made sure to dress warmly since it was a cool day outside, and I absolutely made sure to carry lots of money. So I was walking down the road that was blocked off for the event , and something sparkly attracted my eye. I walked over to the stand and there was an old woman there promoting Currency Artifacts. There was a beautiful stone there called cadmium, and when I saw the label for it something clicked in my memory. I remember learning regarding that stone in class , it was golden and it was a kind of metal used as ink for tattooing. I also made an impulse purchase of Antique Bookcases I bought it to show my illustrator the next day, since I seriously couldn’t keep my eyes of it and I knew that my teacher would give me extra credit for bringing it in. I could always use that!
