Event Details

Art 101 

So what is contrapposto exactly? Adlocutio? How about pentimenti? There's lots of terminology we hear about, but do we really understand all of it? What do some of these things look like in a work of art? What’s the difference between International Gothic and the Renaissance? What do we mean by Mannerism? Using objects from the Getty collection, we will see examples of art terminology we see everyday and the schools of art with which we work. Maybe you’ll come away with something you didn’t know before. 

 

Docent Lee Rubinstein holds dual degrees in English and History with a minor in Art History. She has been leading students through the galleries at the Getty since the program's inception in 2012. Additionally, in 2007, Lee created the curriculum for, and now runs, a volunteer art program in underserved schools in Los Angeles.
