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
