The exhibition In Focus: Making a Scene presents a variety of staged photographs, from daguerreotypes to Polaroids, which illustrate how photography often poses fiction as truth. Spanning the 1800s to today, these photographs use stagecraft and occasional darkroom trickery to tell intriguing stories.
Use images from the exhibition and adapt the lesson "Telling Stories: Witness to a Brawl" to discuss how an artist emphasizes the narrative in a work of art depicting a single moment from a story. Create your own photo studios in class with students in grades 3–12, who can use props and costumes to create scenes from their favorite stories.
View the lesson "Telling Stories: Witness to a Brawl."
Learn more about the exhibition In Focus: Making a Scene, on view at the Getty Center through October 18, 2009.
