LACMA visit with teacher Jacob!

A group of students form Language Systems International,  Alhambra went on an excursion to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), lead by ESL/GRE-GMAT instructor Jacob Slingland, in order to experience one of L.A.'s landmark museums.

While at LACMA students explored  works of art by some of the most influential artist of the 20th century, such as Pablo Picasso, Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinski and Jackson Pollock. Everyone enjoyed  inspiring examples of painting and sculpture in a variety of media. 

A few of which they experienced from within and even touched, such as Jesus Rafael Soto's Penetrable, which consists of hundred of suspended yellow tubes that the viewer is meant to touch, walk amongst and generally play with. While taking in some art everyone managed to take a selfie in front of the famous sculpture Urban Lights, by Chrish Burden, and even practiced a little English.

Party Night at the Museum with DJ in the South Bay!

We had a little drama getting tickets for the The Natural History Museum's, season's opener, First Fridays event. Because my students didn't heed my advice to buy your tickets early! 

First we needed a few more drivers, which luckily we found easily. Then we quickly navigated through L.A.'s wild jungle traffic to be first in line to get the tickets that would soon be released to the non-members of the museum.  Luckily we arrived with plenty of time. Actually an hour with chatting, and connecting with each other was perfect before we walked in the venue filled with DJ's and a live band. After leading an initial intro to the museum, namely the Los Angeles Begins Exhibit, I sent some of the students off to explore the history of the natural world, while others followed me to the dance floor to boogie to the always fantabulous Michael Jackson "ABC"  tune!
