The term medium refers to the materials

which are used by an artist to create works of

art to interpret his feelings or thoughts.
Medium denotes the means by which an artist
communicates his idea. Many materials have
been used in creating different works of art
thus, the medium is very essential in the arts.
Without a medium, there is no art.
On the other hand, this is the manner in which
the artist controls the medium to achieve the
desired effect. It is the ability with which the
artist fulfils the technical requirements of his
particular work of art. It has something to do
with the way he manipulates his medium to
express his ideas in the artwork
