Its pigment is mixed together with resin or gum tragacanth to hold it together, rolled or compacted into sticks and allowed to dry.

It is derived from the word “pastelo” which is Italian word for gum.

Unlike other mediums, there is no mixing of colors on the palette, no addition of water, oil, or synthetic painting medium. No waiting for the paint to dry.

Which of the following is not a kind of pastel?

These are traditionally round and wrapped in a paper sleeve whose function is to hold the pastel together and also to prevent it from breaking unnecessarily.

In this medium, there is a higher proportion of pigment to binder.

These are sometimes referred to as chalks. They have no paper sleeve and are usually square.

More binder is added to make the stick stronger.

It can be carefully sharpened making them ideal for rendering details.

The pigment is bound in oil.

It can be brushed around on the support when moistened with turpentine or white spirit.

Are also wrapped in paper to hold it together and prevent breaking.

The range of hues are limited but colors can be overlayed on the support.

A technique of composing a work of art by pasting on a single surface various materials not normally associated with one another.

Collage became an art form during the synthetic cubist period of Picasso and Braque.

In photography, examples of materials include newspaper clippings, parts of a photograph, tickets, envelope, ribbons, buttons, shells, lace, etc.

This refers to works of visual art that combines various traditionally distinct art media. An example will be a combination of paint, ink and collage.

Two or more artistic media are combined by the artist into a single composition. This allows versatility and a rich viewer experience as the eye uncovers multiple layers

 Mixed media can include almost anything.

The different combinations of media can include almost anything. The different combinations of media and varying compositions, color and texture can lead to interesting effects.

In multi-media, common combinations include oil paints, textiles or sculpture.

Unlike other mediums, there is a lot of mixing of colors on the palette and no addition of water, oil, or synthetic painting medium.

Pastel can be blended or overlayed on the support.

Major disadvantage of pastel is its portability.

The technique of manipulating pastel can be done using the fingers or a paper stump (torchon) which is rolled paper with a point.

This is the application of pastel in a broken pattern of small marks to produce an attractive play of colors.

In this technique, pastel is pressed hard on to the support so as to leave a thick opaque deposit of pigments.

This technique is effective for oil pastel. This involves scrapping off color to reveal tone of the support using a blunt pen knife.

A technique that involves building up the pastel painting in layers.

The side or the blunt tip of a soft pastel is lightly drawn across the surface of the paper to create the effect of a delicate veil of color through which the underlying color is visible.

Laying delicate parallel strokes of color with the point of the pastel, usually over an existing layer of pastel color.

This is the method of laying a broad area of color in a uniform, unbroken tone.  In preparing this, a stick of pastel is scrape or crushed into find powder.  The powdered pastel is then placed on the support and blended using fingers or any blending tool.

From the French: coller, "to glue" or "to stick together"

It is a technique of art creation, primarily used in the visual arts, but in music too, by which art results from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole.

It may sometimes include magazine and newspaper clippings, ribbons, paint, bits of colored or handmade papers, portions of other artwork or texts, photographs and other found objects, glued to a piece of paper or canvas.

In visual art, it is an artwork in which more than one medium or material has been employed.

Assemblages and collages are two common examples of this art using different media that will make use of different materials including cloth, paper, wood and found objects.

It is an artistic work or practice that uses digital technology as part of the creative or presentation process. Since the 1960s, various names have been used to describe the process, including computer art and multimedia

 It can be purely computer-generated (such as fractals and algorithmic art) or taken from other sources, such as a scanned photograph or an image drawn using vector graphics software using a mouse or graphics tablet.

It is considered as both a science and an art.

Is considered to be “Writing with Lights”

It has become a part of this generation’s every day routine with the influx of advance mobile technology.

As an artistic statement however, photography is more than just capturing optical images on light sensitive surfaces but rather an understanding of how the technology operates to manipulate factors that would maximize human expression.

A digital system used by computers that process words and images directly as number or digits.

Software programs like paint and draw programs allow the artist to draw, paint and manipulate digital images.

The images are stored as bitmaps, which are series of tiny dots or pixels.

The images are stored as a series of lines and curves. The draw program has the ability to change the size of the object without distorting the image.

Originally, all photography was monochrome, or black-and-white. Even after color film was readily available, black-and-white photography continued to dominate for decades, due to its lower cost, chemical stability, and its "classic" photographic look.

The first temporary color photograph was taken in 1861 using the three-color-separation principle first published by Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell in 1855.

In 1981, Canon unveiled the first consumer camera to use a charge-coupled device for imaging, eliminating the need for film: the Sony Mavica.

Digital imaging uses an electronic image sensor to record the image as a set of electronic data rather than as chemical changes on film.

An important difference between digital and chemical photography is that chemical photography resists photo manipulation because it involves film and photographic paper, while digital imaging is a highly manipulative medium.

Consists of either 2D visual information displayed on an electronic visual display or information mathematically translated into 3D information, viewed through perspective projection on an electronic visual display.

Is the art, application and practice of creating durable images by recording light or other electromagnetic radiation, either electronically by means of an image sensor, or chemically by means of a light-sensitive material such as photographic film.

It is art that's made up of vector graphics.

These graphics are points, lines, curves and shapes that are based on mathematical formulas

It's an excellent tool for putting company logos on business cards, creating poster designs, and when photo-shopping in Adobe Photoshop. Any art made with vector illustration software like Adobe Illustrator is considered vector art.

The resolution independence vector art displays allows it to be used in a variety of forms, from small illustrations to massive billboards.

A category of fine art, graphic art covers a broad range of visual artistic expression, typically two-dimensional, i.e. produced on a flat surface.

The term usually refers to the arts that rely more on line or tone than on color, especially drawing and the various forms of engraving;

It is sometimes understood to refer specifically to printmaking processes, such as line engraving, aquatint, drypoint, etching, mezzotint, monotype, lithography, and screen printing (silk-screen, serigraphy).

It includes calligraphy, photography, painting, typography, computer graphics, and bindery. It also encompasses drawn plans and layouts for interior and architectural designs.
