OPEN STUDIO: A COLLECTION OF ARTMAKING IDEAS BY ARTISTS

Filed under: EDUCATION, Kids/Teens, arts programming | Back to: Homepage

The Getty Museum and artist Mark Bradford today unveiled Open Studio: A Collection of Artmaking Ideas by Artists, a new project conceived by Bradford, an LA-based artist and MacArthur Fellow, to provide free online arts activities for K-12 teachers to use in their classrooms.

Open Studio is the inaugural project of the Getty Artists Program, an expanded effort to involve contemporary artists in the Museum’s Education programs. Bradford designed Open Studio to provide brief, accessible activities that don’t require a great deal of preparation or supplies. A teacher can click, print, and immediately share them with his or her class.

“By involving artists in developing educational programming, the Getty is seeking to connect our public with living artists, who will share their unique perspectives and their studio practices,” explains Toby Tannenbaum, assistant director for Museum Education.

Open Studio: A Collection of Artmaking Ideas by Artists is available at http://blogs.getty.edu/openstudio/
