There are so many ways that art can be expressed. Anyone that wishes to create something that can be called a work of art can just create whatever it is that he feels like doing. One of the most interesting art pieces that can be created would be mixed media patterns. This is a method of creating art by using different kinds of media and not limiting yourself to just one.

In art, a medium that almost everyone is aware of and make use of would be the pencil. Other common types of medium are the chalk, crayon, watercolor, marker, and charcoal. There are also things like sand, pastel, and conte. In architectural art, things like stone, sand, wood, glass, and metal can also be a medium. Mixed media allows a person to use any medium that he desires.

Such beautiful patterns are being incorporated in bags, clothes, and different fashion accessories. You can also apply this in architectural design, furniture design, and so much more.

For each layer you may use another kind of technique to achieve various textures. A good example of this would be utilizing different brush strokes and using things like stencils and credit cards.

However, if you prefer to be taught by an artist, there are now many studios that offer art classes so one know about the different techniques or methods.
