On your next visit to #fwmoa, please don't touch the artworks but do pay close attention to the implied or visual texture. How do artists activate our sense of touch? Find out in this #arttermtuesday on texture.
Art Term Tuesday: Texture
Art Term Tuesday: Emboss & Embellish
When an artist wants that extra "something" to add to their artwork, they often emboss or embellish it with gemstones, beads, lace, or string. Learn the difference between the terms, and see how artists utilize them in different media, in this #arttermtuesday!
Art Term Tuesday: Color
We're hungry...for art! We've found that certain shades of paint can make us hungry...is there an artwork you'd like to eat? Today, we explore the way that color elicits a response and connection to art, whether emotional or gastronomical.

Art Term Tuesday: Value
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.
Art Term Tuesday: Vanitas
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.
Art Term Tuesday: Palette Knife
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.
Art Term Tuesday: Gesamtkunstwerk
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.
Art Term Tuesday: Indoor v. Outdoor Sculpture
How does a museum determine if a sculpture must stay in the galleries or if it can go outside? Today, we explore the differences in construction of indoor and outdoor sculpture, and celebrate some new work coming to #fwmoa!
Art Term Tuesday: Space
