Mixed Media refers to a work of art that embodies more than one medium. The term is an umbrella for visual art works that reflect more than one type of artistic medium.The term has been used since the Post-Modern art period of the twentieth century; yet the practice of combining different types of media to create an artwork dates back to antiquity. Mixed Media artists typically feature combinations of media that can vary greatly in terms of composition, color, texture, size, and more. Many Mixed Media artists are just as concerned about the processes they use to create art as they are about the materials they use. Learn more about Mixed Media.
