Open Studio From Home:
Julie Mehretu
Sat, June 26, 2021
11 am–12 pm
Online, via Zoom
Families with kids of all ages
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.
Julie Mehretu makes large-scale artworks that are built up through layers of paint, pencil, pen, and ink. She takes her visual vocabulary from maps, urban planning grids, and architectural forms. These are combined to make dynamic works that blur the line between abstraction and figuration.
Together, we will think about places that are important to us. Then, we will make our own compositions inspired by maps.
Materials:
- Paper
- Pencil
- Color options:
- Markers
- Colored pencils
- Watercolor paints
- Crayons
This event will have automated closed captions through Zoom. Live captioning is available for public programs and events upon request with seven business days advance notice. We will make every effort to provide accommodation for requests made outside of that window of time. To place a request, please contact us at accessfeedback@whitney.org or (646) 666-5574 (voice). Relay and voice calls welcome.
