1. 2D Mediums in Artistic Expression
• Mediums are the tools we use to draw, paint,
etc... • Techniques are all of the ways of using these mediums. • We can combine and mix various techniques and mediums. • Learning different procedures, techniques and mediums helps us know which is the most adecuate way to express us.
2. Dry and Wet mediums YES Those materials that
require a liquid for it’s application (water, oil)
WET MEDIUMS for painting
•NO •Those materials that do not require a liquid for it’s application • •DRY MEDIUMS •For drawing
2.1. Drawing Mediums Graphite Pencil: • Pencils can be hard or soft. – Soft pencils: are used for sketches and to create shading because they allow for more tonalities. – Hard pencils: used mostly for technical drawings that require more precision.

2.1. Drawing Mediums Colored pencils: • Unlike graphite pencils, colored pencils have a wax pigment interior. • Some colored pencils can be activated with water. They are called watercolor pencils. • They give the artist great control to make full colors drawings with great detail.
2.1. Drawing Mediums Markers and pens:
• An evolving technique that allows for a
range of graphic possibilities in full color. • First, pencil should be used to make a preliminary sketch. Then, light colors should be applied before darks.
2.1. Drawing Mediums Charcoal: • Charcoal is derived from burnt wood. • It is principally used for… – Making preparatory sketches, – Creating shading
• Charcoal allows for a range of marks, from lines to a variety
of tones of grey.
2.1. Drawing Mediums Crayons: • Crayons are derived from pigments and wax. • Crayons allow for brilliant colorful drawings.
2.1. Drawing Mediums Pastels Pastels are a stick of powdered pigment similar to
chalk. They tend to have a pale color and a very soft texture.
2.1. Drawing Mediums Collage: • This technique is the act of pasting photos, papers, objects,
drawings on a support. • The word “collage” comes from the word “paste” in French. • Picasso and Braque, the cubist artists, were the first to create collages.

2.2. Painting mediums Watercolors: • Are a transparent medium with which the color is added
through layers of water tinted by the paint. • They can be dry or in tubes. • It’s important to use paper with a coarse (rugoso) texture so that it can absorb some of the water. • This technique can be combined with crayons or tape to create different visual effects.

• Prints are created by stamping or imprinting a plate
(plancha). • Printmaking is the art form with allows us to make multiple repetitions of the same image. • There are many different types of printmaking, like relief printing, intaglio printing, or monoprinting.
The project To celebrate Chinese New Year, we will make masks
inspired by the famous Peking Opera. Watch the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnMRIzpO4nU
The steps… Draw a life-size mask shape, like this one:
Draw lightly, in pencil, some designs, like these:
The steps… Color some areas with crayon.
Next, paint other areas with watercolor. What
happens with the watercolor and the crayon together?
