Video Gallery
|
|
Take students behind the scenes at the J. Paul Getty Museum—without leaving your computer lab. From art-making demonstrations to artist interviews, the videos in our revamped online video gallery shed light on topics as diverse as bronze casting, photographs by Dorothea Lange, conservation projects, artist techniques, and Getty Museum history.
Use these short videos in warm-ups for art-making activities, to introduce students to an artist's work, or to prepare your class for a visit to the Getty Museum.

Current Exhibitions

Teach K–2 students about animal camouflage by viewing artworks by one of the finest painters of animals in the history of European art. The exhibition Oudry's Painted Menagerie features 12 realistic, life-size animal portraits by Jean-Baptiste Oudry, an artist working for the French king in the 17th and 18th centuries.
Use the lesson "I Spy (Camouflaged Animals in Art!)," to teach students that the environment can shape an animal's characteristics. Extend the lesson by viewing Oudry's animals and discussing which ones can blend into their surroundings. Students can research each animal to learn about its habitat.
