All school visits are free of charge. So we are delighted to serve even more students and teachers from all over Los Angeles this coming school year. The lessons are not comprehensive tours of the collections. Instead, students spend their time studying a limited number of objects in depth. The lessons are highly participatory.
Teachers receive a video and other pre-visit materials to help prepare the students.
Please submit an application by September 15 to be entered in the lottery for a guided lesson. Here teachers can see the four art curriculum sets approved by the Los Angeles Unified School District, other curriculum support materials, collection handbooks, and a selection of children's books on art, mythology, and history. The TRC offers poster sets with curriculum suggestions, videos about artists and teaching art, and the Getty's museum-based lesson plans and bulletin boards featuring activities and lessons linked to current exhibitions. The Getty is an international cultural and philanthropic institution devoted to the visual arts that includes the J. Paul Getty Museum as well as programs for education, scholarship, and conservation. The J. Paul Getty Trust and the Getty programs are located at the Getty Center in Los Angeles.
