Mixed media art refers to artwork in which more than one medium or material has been employed. Common examples of mixed media include assemblages, collages, and sculptures. The materials used can encompass paint, cloth, paper, wood, and found objects among others [1]. 

Mixed media art differs from multimedia art, which combines visual elements with non-visual components such as sound and interactivity [1]. The genre gained popularity in the 20th century with modern artworks like Pablo Picasso's 1912 collage 'Still Life with Chair Caning' being notable examples [1]. Different forms within mixed media art include collage, assemblage, found object art, altered books, and the use of wet and dry media [1].
