Visual graphic arts is comprised of painting, drawing sculpting and photography; within each area of interest, there are many different components that make up each category. The different media used in visual graphic arts vary depending on the type of art being created.
Artists can paint with oil or water colors. The type of surface that is being painted also makes a difference to the finished work. Different paint brushes create different strokes, and of course the style of the artist will affect the work as well.
Drawing provides many outlets for visual graphic art in media. Many artist may utilize ink and pencil for many drawings but also explore pastels, chalk, markers and charcoal to enhance their art. Almost any surface can provide a background for different drawings.
Materials artist may use to sculpt on may be comprised of wood, stone, clay, ice sand and metal. The processes used in sculpting depend on the media being used. Carefully subtracting or carving wood is important when sculpting wood. When carving wood, marble or stone, it is important to use the process of subtraction.
Clay and ceramics have to be constantly tampered with in order to be molded in the preferred shape or form. Successful clay modeling can be achieved through the process of manipulation when sculpting.
Addition is the sculpting process used to build a sculpture, adding different pieces to create the work. Many sculptures in metal are created using this process, where different pieces are shaped and put together to create the finished work of art. Sand is continuously added to sand sculptures to complete a piece of art.
Environmental sculptures utilize substitution to include a variety of materials in an art piece.
In photography the most common media are black and white or color photography. Using different color and lighting effects can change the overall look of a photo. Film photography adds character to a photo while analog and digital media provides a variety of ways to present a photo. The way a photo may print is dependent upon the type of photo paper.
Diverse types of media have a direct effect on the way the final project may look. It is important to review the different types of visual graphic art media to find what is right for the artist. There are no rules to producing breathtaking art pieces using graphic media. That’s the beauty of art – it can be experimental, innovative and of course must be creative.
