Painting
Refers to the type of paint used called the “vehicle” and the base or ground to which it is applied.
Medium
What are the Painting Medium?
Acrylic paint
Encaustic
Fresco
Gouache
Magna paint
Oil paint
Pastel
Tempera
Watercolor
A medium of pigments suspended in water-based solutions in which the paints are made.
Watercolor
A permanent fast-drying painting medium made of colored pigments, typically of glutinous substances such as egg yolk, combined with a water-soluble binder medium.
Tempera
A quick-drying paint made of acrylic emulsion pigment.
Acrylic paint
A stick-shaped art medium, made of pure powdered pigment and a binder.
Pastel
It includes the use of hot bee wax.
Encaustic
A type of linseed oil slow-drying paint consisting of the pigment particles suspended in a drying liquid.
Oil paint
A mural painting technique done on freshly laid lime plaster or wet lime.
Fresco
The fluid or paste then is applied to a surface—typically prepared wood, although canvas and other materials are often used.
Encaustic
It is made up of pigments ground by means of solvents in an acrylic resin which are brought into emulsion.
Magna paint
One type of water media, paint consisting of natural pigment, water, a binding agent, and sometimes additional inert material.
Gouache
Sculptors use a variety of materials to create their art.
Sculpture
Sculptors use a variety of materials to create their art. These includes:

Stone
Marble
Granite
Limestone
Wood
Glass
Stainless steel
Aluminium
Gold
Iron
Platinum
Nickel
Silver
Diamond
Titanium
Jade
Ivory

Ice
Sand
Found Object
Some conceptual artists create sound sculptures which also generates sounds from the three-dimensional structures.
Sound
As the works are frequently displayed in art galleries.
Sound installation
The Several Famous Artists who are known for their sound sculptures are:
Alexander Calder
Hugh Davies
Nigel Helyer
Unique type of medium as they create an optical effect using a different form of light or illumination.
Light
Who are the most popular light sculptors?
Olafur Eliasson
Dan Flavin
A natural or man-made object that is discovered by an artist and preserved due to an intrinsic value that the artist sees therein.
Found Object
A strong, brittle, usually transparent or translucent, sand fusing, and sometimes fast cooling, soda, lime and other ingredients.
Glass
A granular substance consisting of finely separated rock particles and minerals.
Sand
A steel alloy with at least 11% chromium by mass and at least 1.2% by mass iron.
Stainless steel
A brittle and transparent solid or frozen crystalline water
Ice
It is Earth’s mos common metallic element and most commonly used nonferrous metal.
Aluminum
A wide range of synthetic or semi-synthetic materials which are used in a wide variety of applications
Plastic
A yellow precious metal, chemical element of atomic number 79, used in particular for jewelry and decoration and to guarantee currency value.
Gold
A ceramic material consisting of clay-type materials heated to high temperatures.
Porcelain
A silver-gray, lustrous, ductile, malleable metal.
Iron
It comprises clay in the form of kaolinite.
Porcelain
A dense, malevolent, ductile, highly reactive, useful, silver-white transition metal.
Platinum
An ornamental stone, known primarily for its green varieties.
Jade
A lustrous silvery-white metal with a subtle golden tinge.
Nickel
A lustrous silver-colored, low density and high strength transition metal.
Titanium
A smooth, shiny, lustrous transition metal, it exhibits any metal’s maximum electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and reflectivity.
Silver
A solid pure carbon with it’s crystal-shaped atoms
Diamond
A fine, coarse composite material bonded with fluid cement and hardens over time.
Concrete
A porous and fibrous tissue found in trees and other woody plant stems and roots.
Wood
A sedimentary carbonate rock, mostly made up of skeletal fragments of marine organisms.
Limestone
A mainly copper-containing alloy, generally containing 12-12.5% tin and often adding non-metals or metalloids.
Bronze
The common type of granular, phaneritic, intrusive felsic igneous rock.
Granite
A natural rock or soil substance with small grains that mixes one or more clay minerals with potential traces of quartz, metal oxides and organic matter.
Clay
A metamorphic rock consisting of minerals of recrystallized carbonate most often calcite or dolomite.
Marble
The hard, solid substance found in the soil which is often used for construction.
Stone
It uses building materials as their tool through building construction and other physical structures.
Architect
Is the approach, method or process used to create a work using a material or medium.
