Join us for Tang at Home Studio: Magical Abstraction on Sunday, August 15, at 11:00AM, to talk about art, make art, and share — all conducted via Zoom.

In this session, we will explore Ouattara Watts’ Wait Until Tomorrow and jazz musician Sun Ra’s album covers. Both artists push the boundaries of art in their own mediums, creating imaginary, symbolic and magical experiences. Let’s explore their worlds together and improvise our own artworks that uses symbols, rhythm, lines, shapes, color and sound as starting points of inspiration.

Hosted by Sunny Ra, The Laurie M. Tisch Educator for K-12 and Community Programs, and her team of Skidmore student interns, these sessions are geared toward children ages 5 to 12 accompanied by a parent or guardian. This hour-long live session includes a guided exploration of an artwork, information about the artist, and a hands-on art project.
