Field Trip to LACMA - Los Angeles County Museum of Art















Walking through the Jesus Rafael Soto exhibit. Interacting with this sculpture
caused your sense to feel as if you were in tubes of rain that you could move around.

Here is one of the most important reasons why students write about their art that
they choose to have in the art museum. Label copy is how the artist can tell a little
story about how, when and why the work was made.

Standing under Tony Smith's "Smoke". The sculpture completely encompasses the large room of the Ahmanson Building.

The LACMA trip also gives students a chance to practice their art skills. Sketching the work in the museum is important to help connect what is being done in the class with
the important art from our history.
