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 Marisol. Each of the four life-size wood female figures in Women and Dog is a self-portrait of the artist! We learn about Marisol’s art and life, and create a self portrait celebrating the many sides of ourselves.
