MIXED MEDIA ART

In visual art, ‘mixed media’ is an artwork in which more than one type of medium has been used. “Medium” means paint, crayons, clay, or anything from which art can be made.

Mixed Media is a term for combining two or more of these materials to create something new. For example, you can add sculpture to your painting, or use paint, crayon, and marker in the same piece.

Create your own mixed media masterpiece below with our ocean theme printables, and different art materials. Let’s get started!

WHY DO ART WITH KIDS?

Children are naturally curious. They observe, explore, and imitate, trying to figure out how things work and how to control themselves and their environments. This freedom of exploration helps children form connections in their brain, it helps them learn—and it’s also fun!

Art is a natural activity to support this essential interaction with the world. Kids need the freedom to explore and experiment creatively.

Art allows children to practice a wide range of skills that are useful not only for life but also for learning. These include the aesthetic, scientific, interpersonal, and practical interactions that can be discovered through the senses, intellect, and emotions.

Making and appreciating art involves emotional and mental faculties!

Art, whether making it, learning about it, or simply looking at it – offers a wide range of important experiences.
In other words, it’s good for them!
