MIXED MEDIA in visual art refers to a work of visual art in which more than one medium or art material has been used.
Surrealism is a cultural movement that began in the early 1920's, and is best known for its visual artwork and writing. The aim was to "resolve the previously contradictory conditions of dream and reality." Artists painted unnerving, illogical scenes with photographic precision, created strange creatures from everyday objects and developed painting techniques that allowed the unconscious to express itself.
Surrealist works feature the element of surprise, unexpected juxtapositions and non sequitur.
