Different Types Of Art.

  1. Pastels-  used in drawings and paintings. They are available in three varieties: hard, soft and pastel pencils. artist use them by smudging them into a rough type paper. (smooth paper doesnt really work for this type of art.) benefits of using pastels is the blending ability. they can smudge/blend by using their finger or even a blending stick. Soft pastels are for covering large surface areas with color, whereas hard pastels and pastel pencils are for fine detailing. It is possible to blend all three pastel variations together seamlessly.
  2. Ink- the most cheapest, and low-maintenance way for art. (other the pencils.) this is used in comic book printings, drawings, and black and white sketches.
  3. clay- used in making projects ranging from sculpting to fine-art ceramics. clay art started in approximately 25,000 BCE. there is a four-step process for working with clay is forming, firing (baking in a pottery kiln), glazing and then re-firing to complete the process by hardening the glaze.
  4. mixed media- contains oil paints, ink and pastels. many people choose to create their designs with basic art materials, such as paints, pencils and more unconventional items, such as painted gears, origami (Japanese folded paper), old vinyl records and more.
