Today in the #studio we're inspired by the beautiful blooms of summer inside the museum, so, we’ll explore another way to bring the outdoors in: flower pounding! Learn how in this #saturdaystudio!

Art Term Tuesday: Emphasis
Where is your eye drawn...and why? In this #arttermtuesday we explore the artists use of emphasis (or lack thereof) to tell their story and get their message across to the viewer.
Saturday Studio: From Scrap to Nap
It may be hot now but it won't be for long! With June already flying by we're thinking of long summer days and cooler nights that require a blanket, or quilt. Learn to make a tie quilt in this #saturdaystudio!
Art Term Tuesday: (Fashion) Designer
We're celebrating Fort Wayne designer Bill Blass' 100th birthday at #fwmoa for the next 100 days. To kick-off, we're taking a look at what the word designer means, with an emphasis on those in fashion.
Saturday Studio: Curly Creations
The #fwmoa is hosting a garden party and the studio has moved outdoors to join! Today, we'll look to Dorothy Gillespie and her 3D, outdoor sculptures for inspiration to make our own wavy, curly paper works.
Art Term Tuesday: Balance
Has the artist achieved balance? Used to create visual stability, the balancing act of balancing a composition can be completed using various techniques. Learn how, and next time you visit #fwmoa see if the artwork is stable or liable to tip over!
Saturday Studio: Selfie Stencils
Today in the #fwmoa #studio we decided to use ourselves as inspiration. Like the self-portrait by Paul Valadez, we created our own stencil to learn more about what makes us look like us! Learn how to make your own stencil selfie in this #saturdaystudio.
Art Term Tuesday: Mood
How does this artwork make me feel? A question we ask often on tours, artists use a variety of techniques to both express a feeling through their artwork and generate them. How do the artworks in this post make you feel?
Saturday Studio: Egg-cellent Art
We're so egg-cited to share with your our egg-cellent inspiration for the #fwmoa #studio this week! Continuing with our foray into food, we look to Clarence Holbrook Carter's ovoid shapes to create collages.
Art Term Tuesday: Graffiti Art v Street Art
In this #arttermtuesday, we explore the differences in both definition and perception of graffiti and street art and how cities and museums are embracing public art.
