___ # Art Word of the Day ___ Every day I make an attempt to add a little bit more art knowledge to the Internet, one word at a time. Realizing there aren’t many *comprehensive* and *complete* online art dictionaries, I set out on a mission to compile [my own](https://artterms.artopium.com). ___ ### Please be sure to check out these other projects ___

This costs you absolutely nothing, but I get a referral reward if you use Brave. I wrote this very comprehensive article about this here: ### https://steemit.com/brave/@artopium/support-artopium-using-brave-browser ___
