FOUND OBJECTS Taking something that people view as useless, and then using it in a unique way in order to make artwork is one of the most important movements that currently exist in contemporary artwork. Everything you find can be used to tell a story, or to create new diverse perspectives that we’re looking for when we attend an art exhibition. 3. LARGE-SCALE ART Creating something huge to express diverse perspectives in artwork is incredibly popular, even today. Over the past forty years, large scale art, and art that includes the environment has come into its own as one of the most important movements within contemporary art.

The artist brings all the materials together in an artistic composition to get a desired effect or bring a certain message. Assemblage is putting together found objects like scraps, junk, paper, wood, metal, cloth, stone, arranged in an artistic composition. The output is a three-dimensional artwork, as opposed to a flat artwork in a collage. Decalcomania is the process of applying gouache to paper or glass then transferring a reversal of that image onto canvas or other flat materials. Decoupage is done by adhering cut-outs of paper and then coating these with one or more coats of transparent varnish.

Graffiti is writing or drawing made on a wall or other surface, usually without permission and within public view. Graffiti ranges from simple written words to elaborate wall paintings, and has existed since ancient times, with examples dating back to ancient Egypt, ancient Greece, and the Roman Empire. Land art Earth works or earth arts is an art movement in which landscape and the work of art are inextricably linked. It is also an art form that is created in nature, using natural materials such as soil, rock (bed rock, boulders, stones), organic media (logs, branches, leaves), and water which introduced materials such as concrete, metal, asphalt, or mineral pigments. Mixed media describes artwork in which more than one medium or material has been employed. It also refers to a work of visual art that combines various traditionally distinct visual art media. For example, work on canvas that combines paint, ink, and collage. Print making is the process of making artworks by painting, normally in the paper. Prints are created by transforming ink from a matrix or through a prepared screen to a sheet or paper or other material. Common types of matrices include metal plates, usually copper or zinc, or polymer plates for engraving o etching; stone aluminum or polymer for lithography.
