The Art & Language Arts program
helps teachers from Los Angeles
elementary schools develop
art-centered, interdisciplinary
teaching strategies based on the J.
Paul Getty Museum's collections.
This free professional development
program offers meaningful and engaging strategies for developing
students' language and visual arts skills. The program supports the
California Content Standards for English—language arts and visual
arts.
Art & Language Arts is designed to sustain teachers' professional growth over a one-year
period. By the end of the year participants will have produced model units and/or
teaching strategies, tested them in their classrooms, and reported the results to the larger
professional community.
Art & Language Arts is structured to be collaborative in nature, so that teachers work in
teams, exchange information, and share their expertise with one another and the
Museum's staff.
