You are invited to Open Studio From Home, free weekly online art classes with Whitney Educators! Participants will experiment, create, and learn together with at-home art materials.
Liza Lou’s life-sized kitchen took five years to make! She covered every surface with over thirty million tiny glass beads. Everything sparkles—from the cherry pie to the dust and broom.
Together, we will look closely at Kitchen and learn about how Lou created this spectacular space bead by bead. Then, we will make our own paintings inspired by our favorite foods!
