Andell Family Sundays—Fruit & Flowers on Fabric

Sunday, March 24, 2013 | 12:30 pm

Go on a tour and see a kimono from Japan and a dress from England—all beautifully embellished with fruit and flowers. 

You can make your own textile art in the following artist workshops:

Fancy cuffs with artist Andy Doherty
Inspired by the exquisite lace “engageantes” or cuffs on the eighteenth-century English dress on view, young artists will make their own fabric cuffs to embellish their own clothes.

Design a textile with artist Eszter Delgado
What’s your favorite fruit or flower? Make it the theme of your own textile design, using stencils or your own drawings.  

Toddler tarp with artist Valentina Mogilevskaya
Artists five years old and younger will draw and collage their own designs on fabric.

Art cart with artists Beatriz Jaramillo and Robert Morse
Sketching an artwork is one of the best ways to really see it. And it is a great activity for the whole family to do together!

Bilingual family tours
Join educator Gloria Westcott on a fun family tour looking at textiles throughout LACMA’s collection. The tours are designed to be interactive and family friendly with playful observation and discussion in Spanish and English. Tours start at 1, 2, and 3 pm and meet at the welcome table.

While you're here, cruise on over to BCAM to see more than a thousand miniature cars zooming through Chris Burden's kinetic sculpture, Metropolis II, which is in action every Sunday at the following times: 10:30–11:30 am; 12:30–1:30 pm; 2:30–3:30 pm; 4:30–5:30 pm.
