An artist’s studio is a special place. Transformation occurs there. The studio is a space to grow, to learn and explore. It is here where the artist identifies the specific materials to be used in order to convey ideas and feelings. A work of art is determined first and foremost by the materials available to the artist and his or her ability to use them whether paint, fiber, film, ceramics or metal. Each medium offers a different experience and an artist can use traditional or unconventional material. Your assignment is to make a list of the materials or techniques that the following 16 artists (all referred to in your eText) used to create their works of art.
