Future Exhibitions
|
|
Learn about California history with your students by exploring the exhibition Dialogue among Giants: Carleton Watkins and the Rise of Photography in California. The exhibition presents over 150 works by photographer Carleton Watkins and his contemporaries and provides a unique vision of California industry and landscape from 1850 to the mid-1880s. The exhibition includes images of mining, transportation, and land claims made for the financiers who were building and expanding westward, into a new U.S. territory.
Adapt the lesson "Environmental Impact" to have students in grades 6–12 analyze one of the 19th-century photographs in the exhibition. Students can examine how artists used the principles of design to convey a message about the California landscape and industry. Your students may also consider the history of California within the broader context of population expansion in U.S. history and write a research paper.
View the lesson "Environmental Impact."
Learn more about the exhibition Dialogue among Giants: Carleton Watkins and the Rise of Photography in California, on view October 14, 2008 through March 1, 2009 at the Getty Center.
Explore selected photographs from the exhibition on getty.edu after the exhibition opens on October 14.
