A big welcome to the 11th class of elementary teachers participating in the Art & Language Arts program! Our first day of the seminar was lively, engaging, and fun. Both teachers and Getty staff had a blast discussing works of arts and playing with sketching and painting activities together. Can’t wait for tomorrow!
