Ask Anissa: What is Mixed Media Arts?
Question: What is mixed media arts? I have heard that term used in several different ways, and with different crafts. I just wondered if you could tell me what hobbies or crafts it is meant for. JulieAnn M., Farmington, NM
Answer: Julie that is a great question! Some confuse Mixed Media with MultiMedia art. "Mixed media art refers to a work of visual art that combines various traditionally distinct visual art media. For example, a work on canvas that combines paint, ink, and collage could properly be called a "mixed media" work - but not a work of "multimedia art." The term multimedia art implies a broader scope than mixed media, combining visual art with non-visual elements (such as recorded sound, for example) or with elements of the other arts (such as literature, drama, dance, motion graphics, music, or interactivity)."
