This
web program is designed for teachers in grades K – 6. You’ll
find examples of historic landscapes, portraits and decorative
arts (identified here as furniture) from The Huntington Library,
Art Collections and Botanical Gardens in San Marino, California.
You and your students can explore these works together as you
wonder why artists create works, which details help us understand
art and how we might think like artists today.
Visit the Teacher
to Teacher section to link with other teachers using
the art collections of The Huntington. Find lessons and student
worksheets developed with teachers for this web program by clicking PDF
Lessons. For a quick overview of the works selected
for ArtWonders, click Gallery
of Art. And please consider a tour of The Huntington’s
art collections! You’ll find information on scheduling
tours by clicking School Tours.
Additional art-related Huntington
Lesson Plans are linked to the ArtWonders site.
This project is supported
in part by an award from the National
Endowment for the Arts,
which believes that a great nation deserves great art.
Teachers
and artists collaborated with Huntington educators to create
ArtWonders. Special thanks to Caitlin Conley and Vasthi Calvache
from the Los Angeles Unified School District; Barbara Wamboldt
and Raimer Rojas from the Pasadena Unified School District;
and Chelsea Dean, Los Angeles-based artist and faculty member
at The Armory Center for the Arts in Pasadena. Katura Reynolds,
scientific illustrator, drew the lilies for the interactive
page on the Tiffany lamp. |
