The Getty Museum's Art & Architecture curriculum offers a rich collection of free resources designed to help teachers introduce students to key concepts in art history, architecture, and design. Through hands-on lessons, students explore how artists and architects use elements like form, function, and materials to shape the world around us. The site provides detailed lesson plans, discussion prompts, and activities that connect visual arts with history, math, and science standards. These resources encourage critical thinking, creativity, and deeper appreciation of art and built environments.

Jigsaw Planet is an online platform allowing players to create, share, and solve jigsaw puzzles using personal images. While the platform is accessible to participants of all ages, it's important to note participants must be 13 years or older to use certain features according to their Terms of Service. For younger students in grades 4-8, educators can guide them in creating puzzles using age-appropriate images, ensuring compliance with the platform's guidelines. This activity fosters creativity, enhances problem-solving skills, and provides an engaging learning experience.

In the Classroom
Students upload their images or class photos to Jigsaw Planet and create custom jigsaw puzzles. They can choose meaningful images like family photos or classroom memories. Encourage students to create puzzles as personalized gifts for holidays like Mother's Day or Father's Day. They can print and present the puzzle pieces as thoughtful, interactive gifts. Teachers can create jigsaw puzzles using educational content, such as historical events, scientific concepts, or vocabulary words. Students can then solve the puzzle while learning about the topic. Create a trivia-based jigsaw puzzle where each piece corresponds to a question or fact about a specific topic (ex., animals, historical figures, or math concepts). Students solve the puzzle and answer questions as they go.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
