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.

Download the Brave Browser and get $5 in the cryptocurrency BAT!!
The Brave Browser pays you in BAT (Basic Attention Token) to allow them to display their ads, which you can then use the BAT you earn to tip content creators or just exchange for another crypto. I'm making about $15 a month just from the ads, which are very non-intrusive, and all while simply using the Internet as I normally would. Brave comes with a built in script blocker and ad blocker so it's also very fast and very safe. I opened Firefox the other day and regretfully remembered what a monster it is on resources.
If you download and use Brave as your Internet browser using this link we both get $5 in BAT!!
