Different types use different binders and solvents
Drawing
Ink, pastel (oil and chalk), paper

Watercolor
Transparent, thin layers, quick drying, not permanent
Creates varied emotions (lively to peaceful)
Fiber Art
Fabric printing, stamping, batik, tie-dye
Includes quilts, embroidery, weaving, felting
3D Visual Arts
Examples
Computer Graphics
Created via specialized software for complex imagery
3D Printing
Physical objects from digital designs
