Most Getty Museum staff members have never been to our paintings storage area, but today the participants of the Art & Language Arts (ALA) program got a special behind-the-scenes tour. What a special treat after four intensive days of workshops, tours, art-making, lesson planning, and reading discussions!
Speaking of readings…ALA teachers, please leave a comment that describes a concrete way that you can develop your students’ artistic and perceptual growth (see the list on p. 19 of your reading).
