Getty Museum K-12 Teacher Programs

In these lessons for the K–5 classroom, students find inspiration in tables and clocks from the 18th century and create their own versions of these objects.

Students in grades K–2 identify the colors and animals in a decorative clock, and practice telling time. Students in grades 3–5 learn about the form and function of a table made hundreds of years ago.

These lessons are part of an existing resource Looking at French Decorative Arts: Lessons and Ideas for Discussion.

View the lesson Tick Tock Clock (for grades K–2).

View the lesson Appropriate and Innovate (for grades 3–5).

This free workshop for K–12 teachers focuses on the innovations that flourished in ancient Greek and Roman art, architecture, theater, poetry, philosophy, and science. Participants will explore the exhibition Sicily: Art and Invention between Greece and Rome (opening April 3) with a curator, and join in discussions in the Villa's galleries and participate in hands-on activities.

Participants will receive reproductions of works of art, with lessons and activities for use in the classroom.
