Holistic method - what does it mean?

What does method and medium/media mean in art class?

  • Answer:

    "Medium" is the material used, such as "oil on canvas". Most classic works have a simple list, but it's not at all unusual for a contemporary work to list something like "acrylic, welded steel, found objects, and baling twine". "Method" is how the work was created. Lithograph, carved linoleum block print, high-fire (ceramic) and laser cut are all methods. It's how the materials get combined to make the work. The museum card often doesn't list the method, as it's often obvious from the piece or common enough for the class of work. For instance, nobody lists "brush application" for a painting.
