Current Exhibitions

In the exhibition Bernini and the Birth of Baroque Portrait Sculpture, students in grades 3–12 will learn how Bernini and other artists transformed the portrait bust into a ground-breaking art form. Explore the exhibition by adapting the lesson "Friendship Portraits" to have each student create a three-dimensional "speaking likeness" of a friend. Students should identify their friends' unique characteristics and then create a sculptural portrait, using the position of the head, facial expression, and movement to give an appearance of being caught in the midst of speaking or being interrupted.
View the lesson "Friendship Portraits."
Learn more about the exhibition Bernini and the Birth of Baroque Portrait Sculpture, on view at the Getty Center through October 26, 2008.
