Art History Terms to Know: Media


     Though it is a simple term, media is use almost constantly and is crucial to understanding art writing today. Media, the plural of medium, simply means the material used to create the specific piece of art in question. For example, in the post about Italian Baroque, it says, " During the Italian Baroque, prominent artists worked in many media including sculpture, painting, and architecture." I am saying that there was lots of art produced with all different materials.
