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 Zarina. We will learn how the artist repurposed leftover wood scraps from earlier projects so they could be inked and printed, revealing the beauty in these found materials. Then we will take a closer look at the materials left over from our daily lives and make our own collagraph prints using scraps of cardboard and paper from the recycling bin.
Materials:
- Scraps of paper and cardboard
- Scissors
- Glue sticks
- Block printing ink and a brayer or thick paint and a paintbrush
- Blank paper
