Looking at, Talking about, and Appreciating Art
The inspiration for today's Saturday Studio comes from the artistic style Steven Sorman. Make your own layered, abstract work of art alongside School Programs Associate, Kelsey Herber. To see Sorman's work in person, visit the FWMoA through September 6.
Libraries aren't the only institutions with archives! Many institutions, including #fwmoa, have designated collections they preserve and promote. Meet the artists currently in our Special Collections & Archives in this post:
After a brief hiatus, #arttermtuesday is back! If you thought we had covered all the printmaking terms, think again! Today, we delve into mezzotints:
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!
Searching for a way into abstract art, Associate Curator of Exhibitions Jenna Gilley ponders the process of Steven Sorman in this "Treasures from the Vault" post that looks at his work "after whom, before you".
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.
In the Studio we're exploring shape, color, and duality in our own (mini) mixed-media screens. They may not be large enough to divide a room, like Sorman's, but they’re great on a bookshelf--flip it around depending on how you feel that day!
In love with the shape of art? Us too! We're continuing our discussion of the elements of design by looking at shapes and how artists use them, both through their canvas and composition.
Is it a collage? Or is it mixed media? Find out how to distinguish between these two extremely similar processes in this "Art Term Tuesday" from #fwmoa.
This is a masterpiece! Today, we delve into how, by whom, and when a masterpiece work can be ascribed to an artist.
