We continue celebrating Indiana's inclusion in the Union by spotlighting Indiana artist L.O. Griffith, whose prints and paintings were inspired by Brown County.
Treasures from the Vault: L.O. Griffith
Saturday Studio: Layers Upon Layers
Today in the #studio we're exploring what lies beneath the surface...of the paint that is! Inspired by local artist Austin Cartwright, we picked up our paints and a palette knife and scraped away layers to create a work of abstract art.
Art Term Tuesday: Texture
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: 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!
Saturday Studio: I Found This
House cluttered? Trash full? Us, too! So the #studio decided to do a clean out and use what we found to create reclaimed, or recycled, artworks! See how we, literally, turned our trash into artistic treasures in this #saturdaystudio!
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.
Saturday Studio: Ice Cold
If you've visited #fwmoa lately, you've definitely seen some of our wonderous glass sculptures. Inspired by our glass collection, today in the Studio we're playing with ice and light to see why artists choose this medium specifically.
Art Term Tuesday: Landscape
Looking for something to do with family and friends this holiday week? Read on to learn about landscapes, and then regale your group with your knowledge on a visit to #fwmoa to see Clyde Butcher's large-scale, landscape photographs.
Saturday Studio: Hand Turkeys
This Saturday, we're setting you a #studio challenge. Take a tried-and-true hand turkey and turn it into a work of art inspired by artists from previous #fwmoa #saturdaystudios!
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.
