Answer the following questions.

1. What is medium? What is technique?

An artwork's medium refers to the different materials or supplies that an artist utilizes in order to create a work of art.
In painting, medium can refer to both the type of paint used (oil, acrylic, watercolor, etc) and the base or ground to
which the paint is applied (canvas, wood, paper, etc).

the manner and ability with which an artist, writer, dancer, athlete, or the like employs the technical skills of a
particular art or field of endeavor. the body of specialized procedures and methods used in any specific field,
especially in an area of applied science.

2. What are the different mediums used by painters? Sculptors? Architects?

Painting is the application of pigments to a support surface that establishes an image, design or
decoration. 
An enormous variety of media may be used, including clay, wax, stone, metal, fabric, glass, wood, plaster, rubber,
and random “found” objects. Materials may be carved, modeled, molded, cast, wrought, welded, sewn, assembled, or
otherwise shaped and combined.

1. Concrete

Concrete is the most widely used building material in the world, making it a good starting material to get to know.

2. Wood

One of the oldest, most traditional building materials around the world is of course timber.

3. Steel

The city skylines as we know them exploded out of our discovery of steel, commonly used for reinforcement but

serving as a beautiful skin in several examples.

4. Plastic

Although this may seem like a cheap, unsustainable material to some, one should not be so quick to judge the
possibilities that plastic holds.

5. Stone

Another material used over generations in certain geographical locations around the world, stone has a wide diversity

of textures, colours and strengths.

6. Textiles

Textiles have been explored most commonly using tensile structures, however there’s a whole range of opportunities

using this material: load-bearing chairs, inflatable spaces, fabric casting and wooden fabrics amongst others.

7. Glass

Our most used material to achieve transparency and light is without a doubt glass, one of the most commonly used

façade elements in contemporary architecture.

8. Brick

Despite its rigid, rectangular shape made to fit in your hand, brick architecture has been shown to create beautiful

structures with the right craftsmanship.

9. Kevlar

A material stronger than metal body armor, with awesome tensile strength, Kevlar is certainly an asset when building

large structures.

10. Bamboo

Bamboo usage is generally dictated by the geographical location of the architectural project.

3. Why do artists differ in their choice of subjects for their artworks?

Visual artists differ in style or method in presenting a particular subject because art is subjective. ... These differences
affect the artists in various ways and magnitude. The way people perceive their surroundings and experiences are
influenced by their own backgrounds and thinking.
