Day 5: Teachers Presented on Lessons Exploring Texture, Narrative Art, Tableau, and More

July 31st, 2010 Comments off

It has been a long but incredibly rewarding week at the Getty Center. On the fifth day of the seminar, teachers incorporated the strategies we discussed all week in their own arts-integrated lesson plans. I was so impressed by what they were able to accomplish in just a couple of days. Thank you to this year’s class of Art & Language Arts teachers. It has been so much fun discussing works of art and art education teaching strategies with you all week!

After three full days of tours and lectures and discussions and seminars and art-making and readings (phew!), teachers started developing their own lessons inspired by a work of art in the Getty’s collection. One of the biggest challenges was choosing just one work of art!

We started the morning with delicious scones and a drawing by Michelangelo, continued the day with lively discussions about lesson planning and writing activities in the galleries, and rounded out the afternoon with hands-on activities inspired by drawings and decorative arts!
