Looking at, Talking about, and Appreciating Art
Looking for something to do with family and friends this holiday week? Read on to learn about landscapes, and then regale your group with your knowledge on a visit to #fwmoa to see Clyde Butcher's large-scale, landscape photographs.
This Saturday, we're setting you a #studio challenge. Take a tried-and-true hand turkey and turn it into a work of art inspired by artists from previous #fwmoa #saturdaystudios!
What's the most value-able work of art at #fwmoa? One of those art words with multiple meanings, today we're talking about value in terms of color, not money.
We had some trouble choosing our #studio technique this week, so we were relieved to finally settle on relief printing! Check out how we channeled Japanese artist Kamisaka Sekka's color-blocked nature prints in this #saturdaystudio!
We've switched from an art studio to a baking studio! In celebration of the upcoming Día de los Muertos, we're making pan de muerto, or dead bread, with our family and friends to help remember our deceased loved ones.
Why is there a skull on a table with food, books, and globes? Vanitas paintings were reminders to wealthy patrons of the inevitability of death. But why?! Read on to see why this genre was popular in both 17th century Dutch society and contemporary art.
Trick or Treat! In the #fwmoa studio we're serving up tricks with our clay trompe l'oeil sculptures. Learn how to make your own clay, choose an everyday object, and then sculpt it to fool your friends and family!
An artist has many tools at their disposal, and each ensures they are able to convey their message to the viewer properly. Here, we explore the use of the palette knife to layer paints and create textures.
We're mad for plaid! As summer turns to fall, we're pulling out our plaid. Inspired by Washington Color School artists Paul Reed and Gene Davis, see how we channeled overlapping colors in this #saturdaystudio.
Gesamtkunstwerk is an all-encompassing word to describe a creative process wherein different forms of art are combined into a single, cohesive whole. See how Mucha fits that definition in this Art Term Tuesday.
