The Children's School faculty visited the Getty Museum in Los Angeles this past Friday for professional development day. From medieval illuminated manuscripts to Impressionist painters and the
drawings of Maria Sybilla Merian (the Science Clubhouse Great Artist this year)
TCS teachers learned about the artists our students will study and much,
much more. A highlight of the trip was touring the Central Garden (pictured above) which was designed by Robert Irwin, a former TCS parent who will be the Great Artist for the sixth grade class this year.
