LACMA Hosts Ballet-Inspired Figure Drawing Workshop in Impressionism Galleries
LACMA is hosting the third edition of its figure drawing workshop series, Dancing Light, on Friday, May 15. The workshop takes place in the galleries of the exhibition Collecting Impressionism, where participants will sketch ballet dancer Ishaun Jackson-Moaney. Teaching artist Shannon Green will guide attendees in capturing rhythm, grace, and fleeting motion, inspired by artists like Edgar Degas. Degas's works on view include The Dancers (1898), a pastel and chalk sketch, and the bronze sculpture Arabesque. The workshop is modeled after a traditional ballet class, with Jackson-Moaney performing to her own playlist. Tickets are available via LACMA's calendar.
