SAT, Jan 9, 2021, 11โ€“11:40 am, 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.  

G. Peter Jemisonย started sketching on paper bags while he was a curator at the American Indian Community House. He noticed how bagsโ€”such as purses, briefcases, and plastic bagsโ€”are items that everyone uses. Jemison covers his bags with stories and messages that are important to him.ย 

Together, we will learn more about the work of G. Peter Jemison. Then, we will fashion our own bags that express our voices.

Materials:

  • Blank T-shirt
  • Sharpies
  • Paper
  • Pencil
  • Optional: 
    • Fabric markers
    • Fabric paint
    • Glue gun
    • Small treasures
