It’s somehow been more than a year already since we launched Colossal’s new site design, and it’s spectacular to hear your feedback about how you peruse and use the site. Whether you click on things of interest in our newsletters or encourage your students to explore thousands of articles about artists, nature, science, and visual culture, we want you to keep coming back—and learning—again and again. That’s why we’re continuing to build out the Colossal Art Glossary!
This month, we’ve added 10 new entries:
Teachers frequently cite Colossal as a useful classroom resource from K-12 to university settings, and education is one of our core values. To make art more accessible, our glossary aims to help explain and provide examples of some of the most common art-related terms and techniques.
From Afrofuturism to kintsugi to Vincent van Gogh—and a bunch in-between—the list of terms is a constant work in progress. As it grows, we’re increasingly incorporating links to the definitions—and related articles—so they’re easier than ever to discover.
