Looking at, Talking about, and Appreciating Art
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.
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?

It's spud-tacular in the #studio today! Inspired by the warming weather and furry friends, we're making potato prints. Grab a potato and some paints and join us!
The last term in our study of the elements of art: form!
Today in the #studio, we're spilling our marbles and using them as inspiration for some meditative artmaking. Follow along with Education Assistant Naomi Vanderleest to learn about paper marbling!

Inspired by Indiana photographer Martina Lopez, today in the #studio we're trying her digital processes using a hands-on method to blend multiple images into one!
Are ALL black and white photographs historic? Of course not! Many contemporary artists, like John Bower, capture their images in black and white. Today in the Studio, we examine why an artist may choose to leave color behind and focus on shadow and light.
Characterized by their blue tonalities, cyanotype prints, which are less expensive to produce and don't require a darkroom, are making a comeback. See them on display at #fwmoa in Azya Lashelle's exhibit "Baby I Got The Blues".
