These artworks
are "mixed media". Mixed media,
in visual art, refers to an artwork in
the making of which more than one medium
has been employed. There is an important
distinction between "mixed-media"
artworks and "multimedia art".
Mixed media tends to refer to a work of
visual art that combines various
traditionally distinct visual art media.
For example, a work on canvas that
combines paint, ink, and collage could
properly be called a "mixed media"
work - but not a work of "multimedia
art." The term multimedia art
implies a broader scope than mixed media,
combining visual art with non-visual
elements (such as recorded sound, for
example) or with elements of the other
arts such as literature, drama, dance,
motion graphics, music, or interactivity.
