With Children and babies at the Whitney: at least 2 options....and more..
After-School Course
Behind the Scenes: Georgia O'Keeffe
WHAT:
The Whitney is excited to announce an after-school course that focuses on the exhibition Georgia O'Keeffe: Abstraction. Participants will engage in an in-depth exploration of O'Keeffe's paintings, drawings, and more. Inspired by their experience with O'Keeffe's artwork, kids and adults will experiment with painting and drawing techniques, and consider abstraction in their own artworks.
WHO:
This course is designed for one child (between 6 and 10) and one parent, grandparent, or guardian. We believe that young children can achieve a deeper learning experience when family members are involved and, as such, this program requires that each child be accompanied in class by a parent, grandparent, or guardian. Adult and child will be looking, discussing, creating, and exploring art together. No caregivers will be allowed to accompany children for this course.
WHEN:
The course will take place after school, from 4:30 pm to 6 pm on Thursdays, October 22, and 29, and November 5, 12, and 19.
