Professional Development
|
|
Join us for two free events that launch our new curriculum Historical Witness, Social Messaging. Learn how works of art can provoke dialogue about the costs and consequences of significant events in U.S. and world history.
Discover lesson ideas, hear presentations by Getty staff and guest speakers, and explore works of art that depict aspects of social injustice, propaganda, war, slavery, racial and gender bias, and unfair labor practices.
Register for one or both events by calling (310) 440-7300. Space is limited, so sign up now!
The event at the Villa for teachers of grades 6–12 will focus on the art and history of the ancient world.
View a preview of the Historical Witness, Social Messaging curriculum.
Download the flyer with details about both events, and learn more about professional development opportunities.
