For 5–10 year olds

Join Whitney educators for free weekly online art classes this summer. Participants will experiment, create, and learn together with at-home art materials.  

Marlon Mullen makes paintings that are inspired by the covers of art magazines. He transforms these covers with layers of thick paint and abstract shapes. This week, we will draw inspiration from books and magazines and will reimagine and transform our favorite book covers.
