Fine Arts Youth - Façade Academy of the Arts

Fine Arts

(General Interest Program)

Fine arts are one of the oldest and most celebrated art forms. Some of the greatest artists in history practiced fine arts and it is because of their incredible masterpieces and talent that we study their skills and techniques today. Mixed media in visual art refers to an artwork that includes the combination of various traditional visual art forms, such as: painting, ink, collage, watercolour, pastel and charcoal. Multimedia art is a term that implies a broader scope, combining traditional visual arts with non-visual art elements, such as: sound, audio, literature, graphics and interactivity. Both provide incredible skill, patience, practice, vision and creativity. Fine arts and mixed media challenge our skills, open our mind, exercise fine motor skills, release stress, capture emotion and stimulate the senses. Whether it is for hobby or for professional interest, there is no greater feeling than that of creating your very own custom masterpiece.
