List of art media

Media, or mediums, are the core types of material (or related other tools) used by an artist, composer, designer, etc.

The performing arts is a form of entertainment that is created by the artist's own body, face and presence as a medium.

Common media include: In sculpting, a solid structure and textured surface is shaped or combined using substances and components, to form a three-dimensional object.

The size of a sculptured work can be built very big and could be considered as architecture, although more commonly a large statue or bust, and can be crafted very small and intricate as jewellery, ornaments and decorative reliefs.

In the art of textiles a soft and flexible material of fibers or yarn is formed by spinning wool, flax, cotton, or other material on a spinning wheel and crocheting, knitting, macramé (knotting), weaving, or pressing fibres together (felt) to create a work.
