Utilizing Different Structures Of Media In Visual Graphic Arts.

Each unique category of visual graphic arts consists of an assortment of subsections. Anything can be produced in each visual graphic art category depending on what the artist may want.

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.

Sculptors can use almost any material to carve on that can be cut through. Final products of sculptors are directly effected by the media. When working with wood, the process of subtraction is used, where parts of the material are ‘subtracted’ or carved away. This process is also used when working with stone or marble.

With clay and ceramics, the process of manipulation is used, where the medium or material is manipulated into a specific shape or form by the sculptor. Anything that requires sculpting, including clay modeling requires a lot of manipulation.

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.

Many environmental sculptures feature an assortment of materials designed using the process of substitution.

Color and Black and white photography is a popular concept. The same photograph taken in color or in black and white can appear very different, as black and white photography tends to show the light and its effect with more contrast than color photography does. Through analog and digital media artists are able to include unique effects; film photography enhances a photo while preserving natural values. Paper choice for a photo can significantly effect the final product.

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.
