Experiment with ordinary materials in new and creative ways with these online artmaking events designed for all ages. Each project explores artworks from the Whitney’s collection and invites participants to consider the relationship between artmaking and our domestic spaces. All events in this series are live, thirty-minute sessions taught by a Whitney educator.
Taking inspiration from Jacob Lawrence's War Series, this hands-on drawing workshop utilizes gesture, shape, and color to explore memory and the human figure.
