Looking at, Talking about, and Appreciating Art
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.
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.
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!
We had some trouble choosing our #studio technique this week, so we were relieved to finally settle on relief printing! Check out how we channeled Japanese artist Kamisaka Sekka's color-blocked nature prints in this #saturdaystudio!
We've switched from an art studio to a baking studio! In celebration of the upcoming Día de los Muertos, we're making pan de muerto, or dead bread, with our family and friends to help remember our deceased loved ones.
Trick or Treat! In the #fwmoa studio we're serving up tricks with our clay trompe l'oeil sculptures. Learn how to make your own clay, choose an everyday object, and then sculpt it to fool your friends and family!
We're mad for plaid! As summer turns to fall, we're pulling out our plaid. Inspired by Washington Color School artists Paul Reed and Gene Davis, see how we channeled overlapping colors in this #saturdaystudio.
As summer comes to a close, we're staying inspired by the nature around us in the #Studio! Learn how to make a joyful (glittery!) work of art inspired by artist Frank Stella and his love of birds.
Happy birthday, Luis Jiménez! To celebrate, today in the Studio we're creating animal prints like his "Sidewinder" using a rubbing technique known as frottage.
We were puzzling our art pieces for the Studio this Saturday when we realized we could MAKE a puzzle! Taking inspiration from Mark di Suvero, we construct our own puzzle sculptures to share with family and friends.
