The Getty Education website offers extensive curricula and classroom resources designed to integrate art into various subjects. Teachers can explore ready-to-use lesson plans, activities, and multimedia content tailored for diverse grade levels and subjects, such as history, language arts, and visual arts. The resources emphasize critical thinking, creativity, and cultural understanding, featuring topics like ancient civilizations, photography, and visual storytelling. These materials align with academic standards and include educator guides, worksheets, and interactive experiences, making them an invaluable tool for enriching classroom instruction through the power of art. The videos are hosted on YouTube. If your district blocks YouTube, then they may not be viewable.

In the Classroom
Select a lesson from Getty's curriculum on world cultures. For example, examine Ancient Greek pottery and have students create their designs on paper based on the themes or stories depicted in the originals. Show an artwork from the Getty collection and have students write a creative story inspired by it. Use the provided resources on visual storytelling for guidance. The "Understanding Formal Analysis" videos can also introduce students to elements of art (line, color, texture, etc.). Then, assign students an artwork to analyze using these elements, working in pairs or small groups. Explore art from different periods using the Getty's curated lesson plans on ancient civilizations or the Renaissance. Have students create a timeline showcasing key artworks and their historical significance. Students can use Turbo Timeline Generator, reviewed here or Read Write Think Timeline, reviewed here.You must be registered and logged in to add items to your favorites.
