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!
Saturday Studio: I Found my Marbles
Saturday Studio: Capturing the Past & Present
Inspired by Indiana photographer Martina Lopez, today in the #studio we're trying her digital processes using a hands-on method to blend multiple images into one!
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.
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!
Saturday Studio: Dazzle, Pattern, Color, & Bling
The #fwmoa studio isn't afraid to admit that they're obsessed with Liz Whitney Quisgard's dazzle, pattern, color, and bling. So much so that her work, currently on display in the museum, has inspired yet another studio session!
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.
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.
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!
Saturday Studio: What a Relief!
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!
Saturday Studio: Bread for the Dead
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.
