and ideas with passion.

A piece of art can be made from a single medium or multiple mediums. In art, the
term medium refers to the paint or other liquid that you use to create your painting. It can
be anything from watercolor to oils to pastels. If you want to paint portraits, you will need
to buy brushes, paints, canvases, and other mediums that will allow you to put your
subject in the painting.

Medium influences the way we view art because something normal is turned into
something beautiful to our eyes. The fact that the medium used seems so simple is

us think deeply about the artwork and why something so simple is so significant. Thus,
all artwork and art forms can be integrated and result in Combined Arts.
