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 Man Ray. We will learn how the artist combined various imagery—a billiard table stretching into the distance, rainbow clouds, and rolling hills—to create this surreal scene. Then we will make mini books and fill them with surreal drawings from our imaginations!
