Art over Text
The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) is hoping to give you a little creative inspiration. Earlier this year the museum rolled out a new feature where users can text a number describing a piece of art and will then in return receive a photo of an artwork that matches their description. The museum is hoping this new feature will allow more access to their vast collection of art. You can read more on the feature and find out how to try it for yourself here.
Good Observation
The University of Pennsylvania recently completed a study showing the numerous benefits art observation can offer professionals in many fields.
