INTRODUCTION TO ART MATERIALS AND TOOLS

Art material:

Another name for art material is art medium. It is a substance used by an artist to create a work of art. Artwork can be made with a singular art material or with a variety of materials depending on the artist’s choice in interpretation. Art material cut across the various branches of cultural and creative arts.

Art Tool:

An art tool can be defined as an object, device, equipment or vehicle that is used to transport or transform the art material or medium into creating a finished work of art. Art tools and materials are essential because, without them, there will be a limitation in the interpretation of emotions, feelings and the creation of daily utility objects or equipment.
