The last term in our study of the elements of art: form!
Saturday Studio: I Found my Marbles
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!
In the News: Celebrating National Poetry Month with our Regional Scholastic Writing Award American Voices Nominees
It's National Poetry Month! We're celebrating by spotlighting the poets who were nominated as American Voices in this year's Scholastic Art & Writing Awards in our region: Elizabeth Clark and Sydney Taylor. Read, or listen to them read, their poems here!
Art Term Tuesday: Pietà
It is common for artists to intentionally borrow compositions and refashion imagery to subtly add meaning to their work. Here, we see how two contemporary artists, Barberena and Harrington, have used Michelangelo's Pietà composition.
Saturday Studio: It’s Not All Black & White
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.
Art Term Tuesday: Cyanotype
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".
Saturday Studio: Setting Sail!
This week the #fwmoa studio has set sail, inspired by Dennis McNett's Viking ship on display in the galleries through March 13th. Learn how to make your own boat and take it out for adventures on the icy seas, or maybe just your backyard puddles!
Art Term Tuesday: Encaustic
Using the word "painting" to describe every artwork can lead to misunderstanding of materials and methods. Here, we explore the use of encaustic painting, looking at works by local Indiana artists Kaylee Dalton and Audrey Riley.
