CASA has invited ACHEV to join them on another fun field trip!  We are invited to go to the Getty Villa!

Date: September 18, 2019

Time: 9:30 AM to 11 AM

Cost: free

Who: ACHEV Members 6 years old & older

Description:

Let’s kick off the school year together while viewing 7,000 years of ancient art, from the end of the Stone Age to the fall of the Roman Empire at a field trip to the Getty Villa! The Villa is a museum that is a recreation of an ancient Roman country house. “It offers a taste of life in the first century A.D.”

Our guided visit at the Villa will be from 10-11 am and will be taught by a Gallery Docent. Please arrive at 9:30 to find parking and meet up with our group. During the visit, students will study a limited number of objects in depth rather than tour the entire collection. Our lesson will be highly participatory. Students will work in small groups and engage in discussion, writing, role-playing, and, in some cases, art-making activities.

We need at least 15 students to attend to guarantee a docent. I have reserved spots for 20 students so we can have two groups of 10 with two docents. Only one parent per family will be able to attend the tour since the gallery rooms are small.

After the tour ends at 11, their picnic area is reserved for us from 11-11:30. If you choose to bring a picnic lunch, please bring it with you after you park and the Villa will store them for us. Please use small lunch bags since their storage is limited.

After lunch, their family room is open to us. This is a great “hands on” area especially for younger kids. Self guided audio tours are also available at this time.
