The Villa Summer Institute for K–12 teachers will investigate the artistic and cultural contributions from Classical Athens and their continuing relevance to our modern world. Teachers will discuss topics informed by the California State Content Standards—such as daily life in ancient Greece, theatre, and mythology—through gallery investigations, lectures, and hands-on activities.
The Institute is designed to give teachers knowledge of ancient art and culture as well as the skills to engage students by teaching from original works of art. You will gain practical skills for using the Villa's collection, and the site, to create meaningful learning activities in the classroom and during a Museum visit.
For information about the application process and to request an application, send an e-mail to VillaInstitute@getty.edu
Applications are due May 9, 2008.

Current Exhibitions
|
|
Since antiquity, sculptors have used a variety of colored materials to give lifelike qualities to their work. In the exhibition The Color of Life: Polychromy in Sculpture from Antiquity to the Present, students can see how artists have used different materials to represent naturalistic colors in sculpture. Even ancient sculpture, which we often think of as intentionally left white, was vibrantly colored when first made.
Explore this exhibition with students in grades 6–12 and use the lesson "Sculpting a Modern Hero" to have students create their own variations of polychrome sculpture. Explain to students that "polychrome" means "many colors." After they have created their hero sculptures, challenge students to brainstorm creative ways of applying polychromy to bring their sculptures to life. For example, students can paint on air drying clay, embed foil into eye sockets to create inlaid eyes, or attach other objects to their work and create an exciting mixed-media sculpture.

Inspire students to create lifelike sculpture by adding color, just as sculptors have done throughout the ages.
