History And Techniques For Mixed Media Artists
Mixed Media Artists work with pictures, forms, material, papers, plastic, three-dimensional forms, dry media such as the above mentioned drawing materials, and wet media, including watercolor or ink. Mixed media painters may also use almost everything to create a work of art. These artists will put materials to boards, canvas stretched over a board, or almost any flat or curved surface to create a work of art. Mixed media artists draw from personal experience and other painters to formulate an idea for a work of art. They choose materials which relate with the idea that they would like to convey. Sometimes these painters may also use seemingly not related items and let the viewer come up with connections with the materials. Sometimes materials are put together purely for visual look as well.
Even though they were not referred to as mixed media artists, painters of the Byzantine Empire, 330 to 1453 A.D., frequently made use of gilded gold leaf on their paintings, mosaics, frescoes as well as manuscripts. The arts stagnated through the Dark Ages, yet prospered with the emergence of the Renaissance. Besides making use of tempera, a paint medium which dates to ancient Egypt, oil artwork became popular. A lot of painters used gold leaf to painted wood panels to achieve vibrant skies or shining halos on religious panels.
Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque are considered the fathers of Cubism. Working independently with no interaction between them, both of them created works which were identical. By digesting fine art to dimensional areas of research, they worked with form and space as opposed to authentic images. In 1912 Picasso made his very first true mixed media piece, "Still Life with Chair Caning." He pasted paper and oilcloth to canvas and mixed them with painted sections.
Mixed media is a blanket term for any aesthetic effort that utilizes a couple of materials that would not normally or traditionally be applied together in one piece. More specifically, a mixed media drawing is one which heavily makes use of drawing materials on a drawing surface of some kind, yet which also includes many other materials which have been assembled into the painting. A thoughtful artist is going to choose materials which relate to each other and to the topic or idea of the drawing. As an example, a mixed pen and charcoal drawing on standard velum, featuring a little child holding a stuffed ducky and a quilt, is glued onto a canvas. The border of the drawing is then painted with baby-blue acrylic paint and little yellow ducky buttons are sewn in a random distribution around the edges.
Drawing from the work of early artists, mixed media has become an available art form for both skilled and novice artists. Assemblage and collage can be found blended with acrylic and watercolor painting, rubber-stamped artwork, sculpture as well as modified publications. Fibers, ripped papers, inks, glitters and beads are finding their way into works of fine art and commercial pieces like greeting cards as well as quilts. The future of Mixed Media Artwork, it appears, is limited solely by the imagination of artists and whatever they can get hold of.
