Looking for an innovative way to have students think and write about their home environments? Have them explore their worlds using photography.
Inspire your students with the photographs and artist statements created by Los Angeles middle school students, which are available online in a student gallery connected to the Exploring Photographs curriculum. These students all participated in the Getty Museum's annual Community Photoworks program, which used the curriculum to lead students through the analysis of photography.
Use the online gallery in conjunction with lessons in the curriculum, and watch your students turn snapshots into works of art.

Learn how artists capture personality in portraits by studying the photographs of a contemporary master in the exhibition The Goat's Dance: Photographs by Graciela Iturbide.
Use Day 1 of the lesson "Portraits That Capture Character" to explore the definition of a portrait with students in grades 6–12. Then, have students think about the mood and character that Iturbide tried to convey in her portraits. Students can create their own portraits of their classmates and assemble photographs in a class exhibition.
View the lesson "Portraits That Capture Character."
Learn more about the exhibition The Goat's Dance: Photographs by Graciela Iturbide, on view at the Getty Center through April 13, 2008.
