After School Art Club:
Julie Mehretu
Wed, Apr 14, 2021
4–5 pm
Online, via Zoom
For kids ages 5–10
Welcome to After School Art Club, a free weekly online program with Whitney educators! Kids ages 5 to 10 are invited to experiment and make art with at-home art materials. Tell a friend and join the club!
This week’s activity is inspired by Julie Mehretu. We will learn how she makes large-scale artworks that are built up through layers of paint, pencil, pen, and ink. Then, we will gather materials from around our homes and create our own layered compositions!
Materials:
- Clear plastic wrap, sheets of tracing paper, or clear acetate
- Sharpie markers
- Masking tape
- Optional:
- Acrylic paint
- Nail polish
This event will have automated closed captions through Zoom. Live captioning is available for public programs and events upon request with seven business days advance notice. We will make every effort to provide accommodation for requests made outside of that window of time. To place a request, please contact us at accessfeedback@whitney.org or (646) 666-5574 (voice). Relay and voice calls welcome.
