Mixed techniques
Mixed technique includes all works of art that incorporate a variety of materials and components into a single piece. Mixed art is a work of art that combines acrylic paint with fabric and paper. Scrapbooking, sketchbooks, decorating Decoupage, greeting card design and mixed media art journals are just a few examples of projects in which mixed media can be used.(...)
Mixed media and digital art: What's the difference?
Digital art mixes visual elements with interactive or non-visual elements such as such as sound, lighting or dance, while mixed media uses a variety of techniques. of materials and artistic supports in a single room.
The six main types of mixed media
Mixed media includes many things from found art; in museums or similar to scrapbooking.
- Collage
A collage is a type of mixed media art in which different visual components are merged to generate a new image that expresses a message or idea. Collage enthusiasts can create images with their own hands. from newspaper clippings or advertisements, or even from using various materials such as photography, fabric, wood and even ephemeral objects. They can use the photos to create a unique new image by applying them to the surface of another work of art, such as a canvas.
- Cutting
Decoupage is an art which consists of Glue cutouts of fabric or paper onto objects, then glue them to the surface. seal them so they look painted. Decoupage is a method of recycling existing objects and adorning them with new decorations. Many surfaces, including wood, metal, glass, terracotta and even plastic, can be cut. Furniture, flowers, lampshades, picture frames and glassware are among the most common household objects used in this practice.
- Assembly
An assemblage is a collage of different shapes. Three dimensions of mixed materials with many components springing out in different directions. Although the origins of this artistic style date back to the Cubist creations of Pablo Picasso from 1912 to 1980, 1914, the root of the term itself, in its aesthetic sense, goes back to the artist Jean Dubuffet in the 1950s. "Assemblages of prints", a series of collages of butterfly wings, was the title of his work. Artists such as Marcel Duchamp, Pablo Picasso and others are said to have worked on this subject. with objects discovered on both sides many years before Dubuffet.
An assemblage is essentially a collage that incorporates three-dimensional pieces to create a story. While the objects discovered are commonly used in assemblages, artists can use whatever materials they wish.
- The art of installation
Installation art rose to prominence in the 1970s, but its origins date back to the 1950s. It can be permanent or temporary, and it is generally specific to the situation. a website. The works that result from this technique are created in museums, galleries, exhibition spaces and other public and private places. The objective is to transform the perception of a space. These are three-dimensional works of art which are sometimes interactive. They are known for integrating current media forms such as video, sound, reality and video. immersive virtual experience and the web, while using common objects with evocative characteristics.
- Alteration of books
Another type of mixed technique, book alteration consists of tear or tear change the physical appearance of a book to produce a collage or painting. An altered book is generally trained in adding a creative touch to your work. a book to change its shape or alter its original appearance, whether it is simply scribbling on a book page or adding text to a book. next to it written words. You can paint on a book, make collages or turn it into an artistic journal.
- Wet and dry media
When wet media (such as acrylic paint, watercolor, ink, or other liquid media) are combined with watercolors, dry media (like paper), the result is called wet and dry surfaces.
This mixed art style, as the name suggests, incorporates both wet and dry components, such as paints and inks, as well as colored pencils, pens and charcoals. This is another inventive method for enhancing artistic work by combining inherently different materials. Superimposing a pencil drawing on a painting is an example.
