Collaborate, explore, and learn in Getty Museum workshops

A limited number of seats are still available for this free, one-day workshop for K–12 teachers. The workshop explores Impressionist paintings made in the second half of the 19th century that illuminate a radical break from the European tradition of painting at that time. You'll learn methods for teaching with Impressionist works of art in your classroom through presentations in the Getty Museum's galleries and hands-on activities.
The workshop will include an overview of Impressionist works in the Getty Museum's collection and activities focused on the ideas and individuals that shook the art world at that time. Attendees will receive lesson plans and reproductions of artworks.

What was it like to be an artist in 16th-century Rome? Invite students in grades 6–8 to travel back in time through the exhibition Taddeo and Federico Zuccaro: Artist-Brothers in Renaissance Rome. In a series of drawings made around 1595, Federico Zuccaro tells the story of his older brother Taddeo's hardships and triumphs as a young artist.
Adapt the lesson "Telling Stories: Witness to a Brawl" to examine the story depicted in the drawing Taddeo Leaving Home Escorted by Two Guardian Angels. Discuss the gestures and expressions of the figures in the artwork. Then have students determine which moment in Taddeo's artistic journey is portrayed by describing the "who, what, when, where, and why" of the story.
