Art history, art theory, art practice, art future, and art everything: A college student's class schedule is often brimming with exciting art-focused studies, the layered lessons that give young scholars opportunities to fully dive into the realm of the creative mind.
It's a roomy realm that also includes gallivanting through galleries that exist beyond the classroom, for experiencing what acclaimed artists are creating is also part of the path to higher and holistic learning.
The staff members that helm some of the most lauded museums of Los Angeles understand this intriguing intertwining, how the dance between formal studies and time spent at a museum can greatly benefit a student.
