1. Media Tools and Materials

3. Drawing Media

4. Pencil The modern pencil, a mix of graphite and clay, was invented in 1795. Can be used for quick sketches or detailed drawings.

6. Charcoal Made from burnt wood Can be used in stick form or in pencil form Smudges easily and is used primarily as a sketching material

10. Pastel Chalk pastels look like colored chalk. Oil pastels resemble crayons. The finishes work often looks like a painting.

12. Painting Media

13. Fresco The oldest painting media and the most difficult to master. Pigment is applied to wet plaster to make the painting a permanent part of the wall or ceiling.

15. Tempera The early forms of tempera had egg yolk as a binding agent, which also makes the paint dry very fast. Paint used in schools today.

17. Oil Dominate media in European art. Pigments are bound with linseed or poppy oil. Very slow drying time gives the artist more time to work.

19. Watercolor Was not considered a major painting medium until about 100 years ago. Binding agent is gum arabic, a water-soluble adhesive.

21. Acrylic Uses a synthetic binder so that the paint can be applied to almost any surface. Very versatile, easy to use, and easy to clean up.

23. Collage One of the latest media to be developed. Started by Picasso and Braque in France in 1912. Involves pasting papers or other materials to a ground.

25. Printmaking Media

26. Woodcut Called a relief print because the image on the plate sticks up from the surface. The surface is printed to make a mirror image of the original design.

28. Intaglio Made from the lines in a plate instead of raised surfaces. Lines are made by etching (applying acid) or drypoint (scratching the surface).

30. Linocut Cuts are made into the surface of a linoleum block. Produces an image similar to a wood cut because the ink is applied to the raised surface.

32. Lithograph Very expensive and complicated process. A design is drawn on a limestone with a greasy crayon, then covered with water and greasy ink. Several stones are used to make prints with several colors.

34. Serigraph Also known as silkscreen printing. A piece of silk is stretched over a frame and a stencil is laid on top. Colored ink is pressed through the stencil onto a paper underneath. A separate stencil is used for each different color.

37. Sculpture Media

38. Sculptors work in a number of ways: By cutting away = subtractive By putting parts together = additive By forming with hands = modeling And by producing from a mold = casting

39. Bronze Casting is a method of producing a 3-D object by pouring a hardening liquid or molten metal into a mold bearing its impression. Ancient Chinese, Greeks, and Egyptians were experts at casting metal.
