Art Moment

The Art Moment block is just that—a visual element that contains an animated headline, some brief text, and an optional button that pairs well with the media asset selected within it. The block takes up the full screen area with plenty of padding above and beneath it. 

The text area appears on the left side of the screen, with the headline of this block animating into view when the reader scrolls to the element, while optional text and button elements sit beneath it.

Usage

Art Moment blocks are an impactful way to pair media with a brief text excerpt and call to action.

When combined with video content—which plays muted—it can provide a moment to wow the reader visually before they read more informative content. However if your video content needs sound, we recommend using the Video Player block instead.

Because each Art Moment has an optional button, these can also be a unique way to place a call to action within a page. If you have one particular link you want your readers to visit, in contrast to the many related links that would fill a Flex Card or Featured Cards block, consider using an Art Moment.

If you’re looking to feature only a piece of media, with no text at all, consider using the Full Width Media block instead.
