Absolutely lovely shots of your adorable family and amazing shots of the Getty. I love, love,love that place. When I was in grad school at UCLA I would go there almost every weekend. Sniffle. Your photos really make me miss California. But that's okay. Many thanks from this mama stuck in the middle of nowhere in Montana!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959127833585815159.post-12583363474371920122011-12-04T01:55:25.224-08:002011-12-04T01:55:25.224-08:00Hi Greta,

One thing we do which works really well to teach our kids about art and enjoy the experience of going to a gallery is we have them each bring a sketchbook and a pencil (the galleries don't look kindly on crayons or markers). Each room we walk into we say pick your favourite painting or sculpture and sketch it. They end up sprawled all over the floor of each room, with a few people annoyed but most people in admiration that 'young' people are engaging with the art. We've taught them that a sketch is just a quick drawing, not detailed (but they can work more on it at home). We then go to the next room. They love it. We now go to art galleries about 3-5 times a year. The really great galleries give you a kids treasure map at the information desk (where is the painting of the iris'?)- which makes it even more fun, but not all do that. It's worth the ask though. It really is well worth it to persevere and enjoy these places with our kids.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959127833585815159.post-60166046569389167162011-11-30T12:22:54.848-08:002011-11-30T12:22:54.848-08:00Oh how I would love a place like that here!
