Explore our new exhibition Pacific Standard Time: Crosscurrents in L.A. Painting and Sculpture, 1950–1970 online and in person. The exhibition charts the abundant artistic innovation in post-World War II Los Angeles. Artists looked for new approaches, subjects, and techniques for art making.
Adapt the lesson "The Chemistry of Ceramics" to have students understand how artist John Mason used heat to transform clay into a hard ceramic for his large-scale artwork Blue Wall.
Lesson Plan: The Chemistry of Ceramics
Exhibition: Pacific Standard Time: Crosscurrents in L.A. Painting and Sculpture, 1950–1970 is on view at the Getty Center through February 5, 2012.
