Teach students about 20th-century sculpture with a new cell phone audio tour. The Getty Center campus is now home to 28 modern and contemporary sculptures donated from the collection of the late legendary film producer Ray Stark and his wife, Fran.
Artists, curators, and other experts discuss highlights of the outdoor sculpture collection. Middle and high school students can listen to the audio tour from their own phone, listen online, or download the audio tour and load it onto their iPods or other MP3 players.
Learn more about the Getty Center's modern outdoor sculpture and the audio tour.

A dragon (detail) from a book of beasts, Franco-Flemish, about 1270
|
|
|
Introduce your students to the real and fantastic beasts that creep across the pages of books made in the Middle Ages (about 500–1500 A.D.). The exhibition Medieval Beasts includes an assortment of animals from bestiaries—books filled with stories about how animals, birds, fish, and other beasts can symbolize Christian ideology.
In the lesson "Illuminating Fables," students in grades K-2 discuss how a page from a Flemish bestiary was used to teach moral lessons. Extend the lesson by inviting students to make up their own fables about animals exhibited in Medieval Beasts.
