You can show multiple views of an artwork, such as
- detail of piece that shows brushwork, texture
- a view of the art framed
- different views of a 3D sculptural piece
There are 2 ways to accomplish this:
1. Add images directly into the description text field.
(covered in this document)
2. Use the FASO built-in feature that creates a "slideshow" of the images.
For this option, see FAQ:
Multiple Images per Artwork - Show Additional Views, Framed, Unframed, etc.
The following info outlines the process of adding multiple images to the Artwork Description text box.
Upload Images to Images folder
- from Site Dashboard
