mixed-media
Combined art forms
Mixed-media describes art or creative work that combines multiple materials or techniques in a single piece.
A mixed-media collage might incorporate paint, fabric, photographs, and found objects.
The term also applies to presentations combining different formats: a mixed-media installation with video, sculpture, and sound.
In education and journalism, mixed media refers to using various channels—text, audio, video—to convey information.
