Professional Development
|
|
Learn about the history of 16th- to 19th-century European fascination with the customs, people, and art of non-Western cultures from the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and the Americas.
In these "orientalist" images, Europeans often depicted foreign cultures as exotic others. Imagery merged European ideas about the exotic with information drawn from written accounts of explorers, rare images from artists, as well as invented imagery.
This three-and-a-half day course is designed for teachers of humanities subjects such as literature, social science, and history. Participants are eligible for Los Angeles Unified School District salary points.

Lectures and Conferences
|
|
Does artistry attract us to certain objects, or just effective marketing? Find out in this provocative lecture by Deyan Sudjic, director of the Design Museum in London. Sudjic explores the power and history of design in order to answer the question "Why do we lust for objects?" The lecture is presented in conjunction with the exhibition Taking Shape, which highlights the aesthetics of functional objects.

Current Exhibitions
|
|
The exhibition Made for Manufacture investigates the role of drawing in the design of three-dimensional functional objects. Featuring beautiful sketches for wall lights, stained glass, tapestries, and more, the exhibition shows how artists from the 1400s to the 1700s visualized three-dimensional form and how they collaborated with the craftsmen who realized the final creations.
Use images from the exhibition with the lesson "Looking at French Decorative Arts: The Science of Good Design" to discuss the form and function of objects with students in grades 6–12. Students will discuss the design elements of functional objects, then work with other students to create preliminary sketches and build three-dimensional models of their own functional objects.
View the lesson "Looking at French Decorative Arts: The Science of Good Design."
