Which way is up? Today in the studio, we're playing with composition. Inspired by #nowonview artist David Blow, learn how to create an artwork you can display multiple ways here:

Art Term Tuesday: Wash
It's wash day at #fwmoa, but we aren't doing laundry; instead, we're looking at artworks that use a wash to create contrast, texture, and color gradients. Learn how to spot this technique then put it to the test with works #nowonvie at #fwmoa.

It's National Poetry Month, and to celebrate we're spotlighting one of our region's American Voices Nominee's, whose poem won a Gold Key in the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards.
Playing Favorites: Maddie Rey & Richard Royal
Staff at #fwmoa are playing favorites! Asking us for our favorite piece in the collection is an impossible task...but our favorite work #nowonview? High School Education Intern Maddie Rey was able to answer that: Richard Royal's Untitled blown glass piece.
Saturday Studio: Slow Art Day
It's #slowartday so we're taking a slow day in the studio and playing a game of I Spy! What do you notice in an artwork the longer you look? Inspired by Bertil Vallien, we made our own artworks full of objects to study at. Learn how in this #saturdaystudio by our Education Teen Intern, Madeline Rey.
Art Term Tuesday: Impasto
A technique that creates a textured, tactile experience for the viewer, talking about impasto also makes us hungry! Learn more about the process of impasto in this #arttermtuesday and see it in action in works by #jihamoon and #tarawill #nowonview.
