Art is not limited to drawing, painting, and sculpture. While these are certainly popular types of media, artists have been experimenting and evolving the types of media they use to create their artwork for centuries. Marcel Duchamp even made the toilet an important staple in his artwork! Artists such as Pablo Picasso have created important pieces of work in numerous media types including painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, mixed media, and printmaking. That constant evolution allowed him to stay current and even revolutionary for a lengthy period of his life.

Even substances such as coffee has been utilized to paint! Having this understanding and being able to identify different types of media used to create art will allow us to advance our knowledge and further appreciate artwork.
