Art School
Select Saturdays 1:30–3:30 pm
Whitney Family Programs presents Art School, a new studio class just for artists ages 8–12.This is an opportunity for young artists to further develop their own artistic practice, to learn about the newest trends in contemporary art, and to expand their ideas about what art can be.
Contemporary art today draws inspiration and practices from a wide range of influences, including theater and dance. Inspired by the range of performances scheduled as part of Whitney Biennial 2012, students will observe scheduled performances in the galleries as well as examples of video art and performance. Students will work collaboratively to create and record their own performative actions.
Three-session course:
April 14, 1:30–3:30 pm
April 21, 1:30–3:30 pm
April 28, 1:30–3:30 pm
$150 per three-session course, $125 for Family Series members or Friend-level members and higher; registration is required. Only one registration and payment is needed per three-session course.
Artist’s Choice Workshops
This series of art workshops brings contemporary artists and families together to share their ideas and opinions, and create artwork inspired by conversations and activities in the Museum’s galleries. Parents and kids participate in an art-making workshop led by the artist to explore materials and process together.
