Art & Language Arts Online

Mark your calendars! The annual event for alumni of the Art & Language Arts program is Saturday 8/13.

We’re taking suggestions for potential themes for this event. Some of our prior themes were: “Animals,” “Food in Art,” and “The Many Faces of Portraiture.” But what are we going to do this year? Do you have any ideas for a theme that we can connect to our permanent collection or to temporary exhibitions that will be on view in August?

A few exhibitions that will be on view at that time are A Revolutionary Project: Cuba from Walker Evans to Now, In Focus: The Sky, which will have photographs inspired by the sky, and Luminous Paper: British Watercolors and Drawings, which will feature work by some of the most famous British artists, including Thomas Gainsborough, J. M. W. Turner, and William Blake.

Looking forward to your ideas!

Six new lessons written by alumni of the Art & Language Arts program are now available online! In these lessons, students create works of art and write compositions inspired by the Getty Museum’s collection.
