Current participants of the Art & Language Arts Summer Seminar return to the Getty Center to learn about photography from many different angles (pun intended)!
-
- Teachers learn about the depth and breadth of the Getty’s collection of photographs—over 100,000 and going strong!
-
- We’re on our way to the award-winning exhibition Engaged Observers: Documentary Photography since the Sixties.
-
- Family portraits in the exhibition can connect to students’ photographs of their families.
-
- Teachers find a variety of textures in still life photographs.
-
- Participants pose outside of the Photo Study Room, where pictures by Dorothea Lange, Diane Arbus, Robert Capa, and other photography masters were displayed around the room for close inspection.
-
- Photographer Luther Gerlach explains how light passes through a lens while standing behind a humongous camera.

-
- In the Central Garden, teacher Gabriela Vielma was excited to try out her new camera.
-
- Teacher Trish Birk gets creative with the positioning of her pinhole camera.
-
- Teacher Marisela Reyes places her camera on the ground for an interesting angle.
-
- After taking pictures in the garden, we gather to see the images that formed on the light-sensitive paper.

- K-3rd grade teachers got creative with cyanotypes. They depicted a variety of subjects by drawing on acetate placed over light-sensitive paper.
-
- Teachers drew a variety of basic shapes to make ABC books, to illustrate landscapes, and more!
-
- While waiting for their prints to dry, teachers made books on which they will affix their images.
-
- Teachers created books with accordion folds or books with pages that opened like flaps.
