Which term describes artwork that uses two or more media?

Monotype Mixed Media Watercolor Gouache

Correct Answer:

Mixed Media

Explanation:

Using two or more media means an artwork combines different materials in one piece. This approach is called mixed media, and it lets artists mix textures, transparencies, and techniques to create a richer surface and more varied effects. For example, a work might blend paint with collage, fabric, or ink to build layers and contrast. The other options describe single-media techniques: monotype focuses on a single printed impression from a plate, while watercolor and gouache refer to individual painting media (water-based and typically opaque, respectively). Mixed media captures the idea of using multiple materials together, which is what makes the term the best fit.
