You are invited to Open Studio From Home, a series of free weekly online art classes with Whitney educators! Participants will experiment, create, and learn together with at-home art materials.
Upon returning to her former home and studio in Delhi, India, after years abroad, Zarina became fascinated by the physical remains of earlier projects, especially weather-beaten wood scattered around her studio. To make this print, Zarina assembled leftover wood scraps together so they could be inked and printed, revealing the beauty in these found materials.
Together, we will take a closer look at the materials left over from our daily lives. Then, we will learn how to 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
