Art Material

Art materials are items used to create a work of art. These materials can include paint, canvas, paper, clay, fabric, and other mediums used to create visual art. Art materials are usually divided into two categories: dry and wet. Dry materials include charcoal, graphite, and pastels. Wet materials include paint, ink, and other liquid mediums. Many materials can be used together to create a unique piece of art. For example, an artist might combine paint and charcoal to create a mixed media piece.
