Art & Science Curriculum
Art & Science: A Curriculum for K–12 Teachers mines the treasures of the Getty Museum to explore the many intersections of the visual arts with scientific disciplines. The curriculum was developed by Getty educators with museum conservators, curators, and scientists and a teacher advisory group. Focusing on the science of art production and conservation and the scientific skills of investigation and experimentation, it supports student proficiency in science and visual art by exploring the fascinating territory in which the arts and sciences mingle. This online presentation contains nine out of the 36 lessons that are included in the Art & Science print publication. Science and art teachers are encouraged to collaborate when implementing these lessons to share resources and expertise.

About This Site
What is art? How does art address the needs of humanity? Why do we create art? Is all art beautiful? Does everyone see art in the same way? This program invites you to learn about the art critiquing process. Learning about art is much more than the making of a project. Although website materials are capable of being viewed in any order, it is recommended that you begin with the Elements Of Art. ARTiculation also contains a Timeline and Vocabulary Section to aid you in placing works of art within a historical context and understanding the meaning of art terms that may be new to you.
PORTRAIT DRAWINGS step by step instructions
Drawing a portrait of yourself, or of someone you know, is the most difficult of all subjects to draw in my experience as an Artist and an Art Teacher. To help you learn to draw a portrait I developed these mix and match sheets to make the process more interesting. I do not see these mix and match portrait sheets as an end in themselves but rather a more painless step in learning to draw portraits from life. I suggest that you follow the steps from this first page to get the right proportions. I always tell my students to draw a very light line for where the eyes, nose, and mouth will be and then draw the features over these guide lines. Eyes for mix and match portraits. Noses for mix and match portraits. Mouths for mix and match portraits. More difficult mouths for mix and match portraits. Page one of heads for mix and match portraits. Page two of heads for mix and match portraits. Page three of heads for mix and match portraits. Page four of heads for mix and match portraits.

The Alphabet of Art
The Robert J. McKnight Memorial Web Site Welcome to the Alphabet of Art. This site explains, in simple terms, the elements of visual design. Once you understand the Alphabet, you'll be able to "read" pictures and other works of visual art and understand why they work the way they do. The Alphabet of Art was developed by the late Robert J. McKnight derived many of the ideas in the Alphabet from Maitland Graves and his book, The Art of Color and Design (McGraw-Hill, 1951). The Alphabet of Art is a service of Guidance Communications, Inc. The Alphabet of Art — A Notation System for Visual Design The visual notation system known as the Alphabet of Art is made up of Elements and Attributes. The seven Elements are the things that the artist or designer works with: Line, Line Direction, Shape, Size, Texture, Value, and Color. The Attributes are defined as the qualities that the art or design conveys to the observer. In any notation system there must be a method of making comparisons.
