When speaking of the medium in art one is referring to the actual media used to create the piece, for example, paint is the medium of a painting. The medium of a marble statue is marble. Some art work is termed 'mixed media' when more than one type of media is used. Medium is also one of the components of paint. In oil paint oil is the medium.
We'd be here all day to mention all of them, but here are a few:

  • Watercolor paint
  • Oil paint
  • Acrylic paint
  • Gouache
  • Pencil
  • Pen and ink
  • Charcoal
  • Clay
  • Marble
  • Bronze
  • Wood
  • Pastels
  • Metallic Leaf
  • Papier Mache
  • Wax
  • Scratchboard
  • Glitter
  • Yarn
  • Pipe Cleaners

And lots lots lots lots lots lots lots lots more.

Really, anything that can be manipulated can become an art medium. I've created art with sand, ice, grass clippings, tin foil, weed resin, bars of soap, old rags, bacon, used tires, hair, toothpaste...

How is medium related in art?

"Medium" or "media" is the material used to create a piece of artwork. Examples would be oil paint, graphite (pencil), Photoshop, mixed media (combinations of different medias), etc. A medium is related to art, because every piece of art is made out of something in order for it to be visual. An artist's use of a particular media could also say a lot about the artist or their work. For example, an artist may use photography as their medium of choice, because they are interested in capturing the beauties and horrors of life. A medium, in art, may also be a translucent liquid that thins out paint. See "matte medium."
