Pop Up Art Workshop: Iconic Environments

Make art with us! These exhibition-based workshops encourage creative inspiration for different activities, so make sure to check out the corresponding galleries. No prior art-making experience is necessary; our friendly staff will happily work with you on your creation. All ages are welcome!

These workshops take place on Friday, August 2, 9, 16, 23, 30.

Ed Ruscha has gathered inspiration from Los Angeles throughout his career, incorporating elements of graphic design and fine art to highlight the city’s architecture, landscape, and consumer products. In this work, Ruscha uses text as an exploration of language, allowing us to see language as a playful form of visual art. By highlighting a phrase or word, Ruscha invites the viewer to see language beyond its meaning.

This August, as we look into the retrospective exhibition ED RUSCHA / NOW THEN, we will discuss how to transform our environment and language into visual art. After examining Ruscha’s artwork, we will make our own postcard-sized artwork. Taught by artist Bianca Argueta.
