What is a medium of art? A medium of art is a material used to
create a work of art.
Artists work in both 2D media and 3D media.

2D Media - Drawing
Drawing media include pencils, charcoal, chalk, ink, and pastel.
Drawing is used to make art, but it is also used to planning projects and sketching.

2D Media - Painting
Painters usually paint on either canvas, fabric, or paper.
Paint includes three things: Pigment – Finely ground, colored powder
that gives ever paint its color. Pigments can be natural or synthetic.
Binder – A liquid that holds together the grains of pigment and makes it stick to a surface.
Solvent – A material used to thin a paint’s binder.

2D Media - Painting There are many different types of paint. The most
common include: Oil paint – this paint takes its name from its binder,
which is usually linseed oil. Because oil paint dries slowly, it can be blended directly on the canvas.
Tempera – uses egg and water as a binder. The tempera we use now is also called poster paint, and its binder is a glue-based.
Watercolor – Watercolor is named for its solvent. The binder in watercolor is gum arabic, which is a gummy plant matter.
Acrylic – A fast drying water-based paint made with synthetic binders and sometimes synthetic pigments.

2D Media - Printmaking
Printmaking – a technique in which an inked image from a prepared surface is transferred onto another surface, such as paper or fabric.

2D Media – Computer Art Computer art –
artwork in which computers play a role in the making or display of artwork.
Artists use special programs which create or make the computer create artwork.

2D Media – Mixed Media
Mixed media – artwork that is made with more than one medium.

3D Media - Sculpture
Sculpture – art that is made to stand out in space. Freestanding sculpture – sculpture that is
surrounded on all sides by space (also known as sculpture-in-the-round).
Relief sculpture – sculpture that is only partly enclosed by space.

3D Media - Sculpture
Types of Sculpture Carving – cutting or chipping a shape
from a mass. Casting – a melted down metal or other
liquid is poured into a mold to harden. Modeling – a soft or workable material
(such as clay) is built up and shaped. Assembling – gathering and joining
different kinds of materials.

3D Media - Crafts
Crafts – artwork made by hand that often requires a specialized skill. Pottery – the making of functional objects
with clay. Fiber arts – art which uses textiles such as
fabric, yarn, and other fibers. Glassblowing – the shaping of melted glass
into objects. Woodworking – the art of making objects
with wood.
