Have you found yourself contemplating a work of art but struggling to find words to describe what you're seeing? Us too! Let's discuss a word to help you describe an artwork: painterly.
Art Term Tuesday: Painterly
Saturday Studio: Finding Your Focus
Today in the #fwmoa #studio we're thinking about snapshots. Whether you have a camera, like Clyde Butcher, or a pen, like our high school intern, you too can observe and capture the world around you:
Art Term Tuesday: Scumbling

In the News: National Poetry Month & Karen Chen
It's National Poetry Month, and to celebrate we're spotlighting one of our region's American Voices Nominee's, whose poem won a Gold Key in the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards.
Playing Favorites: Maddie Rey & Richard Royal
Staff at #fwmoa are playing favorites! Asking us for our favorite piece in the collection is an impossible task...but our favorite work #nowonview? High School Education Intern Maddie Rey was able to answer that: Richard Royal's Untitled blown glass piece.
Saturday Studio: Slow Art Day
It's #slowartday so we're taking a slow day in the studio and playing a game of I Spy! What do you notice in an artwork the longer you look? Inspired by Bertil Vallien, we made our own artworks full of objects to study at. Learn how in this #saturdaystudio by our Education Teen Intern, Madeline Rey.
Art Term Tuesday: Maquette
When an artist decides to create, where do they start? Many begin with a sketch. Sculptors, who work in 3D, start with a maquette. Learn more about this preliminary step in this #arttermtuesday!
Second Saturday Studio: No Peeking!
This week in the #studio we're setting you a challenge: draw without peeking at your paper! Learn about blind contour drawings in this #secondsaturdaystudio.
