CONCEPT : In 1960s Los Angeles , the brimming art scene fostered a creative community that operated outside the pressures of New York City , including artists like Ed Ruscha , David Hockney , Bruce Nauman , Judy Chicago , Robert Irwin and John Baldessari . This workshop takes a captivating step back in art history to examine the madcap era in Southern California that cultivated the thriving cultural scene of today , focusing on icons like Andy Warhol , Frank Gehry , the Beach Boys , and Dennis Hopper . We also explore the significant and influential development of the use of collage and assemblage as an alternative to traditional painting or sculpture by taking a look at African American artists like Noah Purifoy and women like Alexis Smith and Betye Saar . Using these and other techniques , the program explores L . A .’ s unique history and the ways in which its artists produced their work .
