Mixed media, in visual art, refers to an artwork in the making of which more than one medium has been employed. There is an important distinction between "mixed-media" artworks and "multimedia art". Mixed media tends to refer to a work of visual art that combines various traditionally distinct visual art media. For example, a work on canvas that combines paint, ink, and collage could properly be called a "mixed media" work - but not a work of "multimedia art." The term multimedia art implies a broader scope than mixed media, combining visual art with non-visual elements (such as recorded sound, for example) or with elements of the other arts (such as literature, drama, dance, motion graphics, music, or interactivity). Arc Angel, 2009, 30x40 in, is a mixed-media work (oil, acrylic and pigmented ink on stretched canvas) that combines traditional oil painting and modern digital image editing techniques. By Jim McNitt, (b. 1948); used with permission.When creating a painted or photographed work using mixed media it is important to choose the layers carefully and allow enough drying time between the layers to ensure the final work will have integrity. If many different media are used it is equally important to choose a sturdy foundation upon which the different layers are imposed. A phrase sometimes used in relationship to mixed media is, "Fat over lean." In other words: "don't start with oil paints. Plan to make them the final layer." Many interesting effects can be achieved by using mixed media. Often, found objects are used in conjunction with traditional artist media, such as paints and graphite, to express a meaning in the everyday life. In this manner, many different elements of art become more flexible than with traditional artist media. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License Is it possible to make a digital print over a mixed media canvas? Q. I am looking into an original way to print out my digital art. I was wondering if it were possible to prepare a canvas using different papers glued to it as well as oil or acrylic paints, and then getting a printer to print the image on top of it, for example, a digital print of a girl on a paper and paint background. Has this been done before, and if not, would it be possible with the use of opaque inks or some other techniques? Asked by Matthew - Tue May 19 15:27:27 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Most printers have a curved paper path that would probably break all the glue bonds. You would need to use a manual feed tray on an inkjet printer that has a straight paper path. Pigment-based inks should probably show up on acrylic. Most printers use dye-based inks. The HP Vivera inks are pigment, as well as any that claim to be extra-vibrant. If you have a "transparencies" setting on your printer settings, use that - it will allow extra drying time during the print. Paper thickness might also be a problem. Some printers have an "envelope" setting that is designed for extra-thick paper. Answered by unknown - Tue May 19 15:46:09 2009 Who here does mixed media artwork? Q.

You have to put the AVI file onto a portable hard drive or USB memory key and connect it to the Xbox 360's USB port. Or stream the file across from your PC. Try using a single layer DVD-R or use DVD+R which is better for the Xbox 360, but you may have to try a few brands as not all DVD-Rs are the same!
