• Summary:This is a fascinating and engaging collection of lessons and activities from the award-winning education department of the J. Paul Getty Museum. K-12 refers to education from ages 4 through 18. For the first time, the award-winning Education Department of the J. Paul Getty Museum is making one of its much-lauded K-12 curricula available in an attractive and inexpensive print format. Art & Science was developed by the Getty's expert educators, scientists, curators, and conservators, and tested by classroom teachers. Teachers and parents will find engaging lessons and activities divided into beginning, intermediate, and advanced levels for step-by-step learning. Art & Science mines the treasures of the Getty Museum to explore the many intersections of the visual arts with scientific disciplines. This volume also contains a treasure trove of resources, including handouts, Questions for Teaching, a timeline, glossary, and list of print and web sources for further research. There are also links to additional related lessons and images available on the Getty website.
