After School Art Club:
Alexander Calder

Wed, June 16, 2021
4–5 pm

Online, via Zoom

For kids ages 5–10

Welcome to After School Art Club, a free weekly online program with Whitney educators! Kids ages 5 to 10 are invited to experiment and make art with at-home art materials. Tell a friend and join the club!

This week’s activity is inspired by Alexander Calder. We will learn how the artist built a miniature circus and performer figurines using everyday materials. Then we will gather unique materials from around our homes and build our own miniature circus performers!

Materials:

  • Scraps of paper and cardboard 
  • Materials from your recycling bin, like bottle caps and plastic containers
  • Wire
  • Scissors
  • Glue sticks
  • Tape
  • Rubber bands

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.
