WHAT IS MIXED MEDIA?

Mixed media is an art form that combines two or more different materials or artistic techniques in a single artwork.

Instead of using only one medium—like paint or pencil—mixed media artists layer and blend materials such as paint, drawing tools, collage, photography, found objects, fabric, text, or digital elements to create depth, texture, and meaning.

Common Mixed Media Materials

• Paint (acrylic, watercolor, ink)

• Drawing tools (pencil, charcoal, pastel)

• Paper, magazine images, or photographs

• Fabric, thread, or textiles

• Found objects

• Digital or printed elements

  
  

Why Artists Use Mixed Media

• To explore creativity and experimentation

• To add texture, layers, and visual interest

• To express complex ideas or emotions

• To break traditional boundaries of art-making
