• Three-Dimensional Media
 Two-Dimensional Media

• use materials, such as

paper, canvas, or a
computer, to make
artifacts that are
essentially flat
 1. Paper
• is the most popular surface used for
2D artwork. It is an organic material
from the pulp of wood or other
fibrous substances.
2. Canvas
• It is a firm closely woven cloth usually of linen,
hemp, or cotton backed or framed as a surface
of painting
 3. Wood
• This support is known as hardboard which is a
board or panel that is made from wood. It offers
a more rigid surface that results in less cracking
in the paint. Masonite, plywood, and laminated
boards are ideal for support in the two-
dimensional art
4. Charcoal
• It is an organic drawing material made from
burnt wood. There are two types:
a) Vine charcoals- come in sticks and are easy to
blend and erase.
b) Compressed charcoal- is made up of lose

darker black.
5. Pigment
• refers to any of a group of compounds that are
intensely colored and are used to color other
materials. It may be organic (plants), natural
(vegetables, insects, minerals, clay), inorganic
(rocks, metallic oxides), and synthetic (derived
from coal tars and petrochemicals)
 6. Binder
• is the material that holds together the grains of
pigment and allows it to stick to the painting
surface. Egg yolks mixed with water, linseed oil,
and wax, are some examples of it.
 Three-Dimensional Media
• occupies space defined through
the dimensions of height, width
and depth. It includes sculpture,
installation and performance
art, decorative art, and product
design.
