Culver City High’s LACMA Interns Design Interactive Tours

Emily Wood, Edna Vogel, Marilyn Liu, Michelle Bac, and Azalie Welsh are all student interns from Culver City High’s Academy of Visual and Performing Arts program. For the past several months they have been interning at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and working on interactive tours.

Their focus has been on a special exhibition of surrealist art created by women artists from Mexico and the United States. The exhibit, entitled In Wonderland, is now open to school students and on Friday, 40 CCHS students were among the first to witness their peers’ work.

Each group of students was guided by one of the five AVPA LACMA intern students and talk about their personal interpretations of the work before them. Following the tour, students participated in a surrealist art making game.

Senior Suranga deSilva said following the tour, “I thought it was pretty interesting to see how all these artists were trying to distance themselves from other people’s image of them and influence on them so they could fully be the people they saw themselves. I know this field trip was equally thought-provoking for everyone who was part of it.”
