-	{{Template}}	+	#REDIRECT [[List of art media ]]
-	In the [[art]]s, '''media''' (plural of [[medium]]) are the materials and techniques used by an [[artist]] to produce a work.	+
-		+
-	==Drawing==	+
-	In [[drawing]], "media" refers to the type of held dry tool used and the base onto which it is transferred. The "held dry tool" normally means to a pencil, or stick medium, referred to as a "[[crayon]]". Small particles of broken-off stick medium are transferred to a base or plane of production on which the artwork is produced. A typical base is paper, but canvas and other surfaces can also be used.	+

-	==Painting==	+
-	In [[painting]], "media" refers to both the type of [[paint]] used and the base (or ground) to which it is applied. A paint's medium refers to what carries a paint's pigments, and is also called a "vehicle" or a "base". A painter can mix a medium with [[solvent]]s, [[pigment]]s, and other substances in order to make paint and control its consistency.	+
