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!
