When your art combines more than one medium we say that it is MIXED MEDIA. Multiple mediums or materials are used to create the work of art.
We have many studios to choose from in our Art Room. You can paint, draw, collage, sculpt, print, sew and weave, build structures, mold ceramics and create jewelry. What would happen if you visit more than one studio with your art? Let's find out.
A DRAWING but make it FIBERS
Artist Victoria Villasana embroiders, sews, right into photos. She is "drawing" with her thread. Artists can use fiber materials like yarn to create various stitched lines.You can sketch a drawing and then sew running stitches and other embroidery stitches. Make a stuffy and embellish your fiber arts with fabric markers right onto the cloth.You could sew lines right into painted paper to make tree branches and grasses.
A PAINTING but make it COLLAGE
Start in the painting studio creating colorfully painted paper (or maybe you have a painting that wasn't what you had envisioned). When your painting is dry, cut it into shapes and glue. Or glue other papers onto a painting.
a COLLAGE but make it a DRAWING
The artist Henri Matisse called cutting out paper shapes "drawing with scissors". This artwork by Henri is cut paper shapes.
Could you use your scissors to draw? Your cutting becomes a drawing as we see in the lines of these paper portraits. Use your scissors to "draw" into paper.
a PAINTING but make it COLLAGE
Paint paper in the Painting Studio. Tear and glue painted paper onto a painted sky background and add boats or sea-life. You now have a Collage.
