Mixed Media is an art form that combines different art mediums to create a final art peice. This can be the utilization of two or more mediums, like painting and clay, and can thus create an unexpected and interesting visual result. Mixed media often uses untraditional items like pipe cleaners, beans, jewels, coffee filters, recyclables, straws, puffy paint, feathers, pom poms and tooth picks; therefore requiring a greater manipulation and understanding of the scope of techniques.
