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.
Florine Stettheimer’s paintings were inspired by the people and places she loved. In New York/Liberty, the artist painted the city she lived in at a time when the U.S. was celebrating the end of World War I. She includes patriotic details such as the Statue of Liberty, the downtown skyline, and the American flag.
This week we will think about the people and places we love, and create our own personal story maps!
