Explore the art in science and the science in art. See a preview of Art & Science: A Curriculum for K–12 Teachers. The first three lessons are now available online. Students will learn about the history of microscopes, the refraction of light through camera lenses, and how to classify species that are portrayed in artworks.
Look for the remaining lessons, a timeline, and a glossary to be added to this curriculum in the coming weeks. All lessons connect to national and California state content standards for visual arts and science.

Collaborate, explore, and learn in Getty Museum workshops
|
|
|
In this free, one-day workshop for K–12 teachers, you'll explore 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.

Invite students in grades 3–5 to identify the geometric and organic shapes they see in buildings and in photographs of buildings. A new exhibition at the Getty Center, Edward Weston: Enduring Vision, features the bold graphic compositions of photographer Edward Weston, who often turned his camera to the shapes and forms in architecture.
Activities and questions in the lesson "Buildings, Buildings Everywhere" will help your class identify the art elements of shape and form in photographs in the exhibition. Students can discuss the shapes and architectural details they observe in Weston's Plaster Works/Western Plaster Mill, Los Angeles, then discuss the shapes and forms they see on their own school building.
