What is figurative art?
Sometimes known as Figurativism, figurative art refers to sculptures and paintings that are clearly or specifically derived from real objects, making them representational. The term "figurative art" is often used in contrast to abstract art. However, since the emergence of abstract art, "figurative art" has come to describe any form of modern art that has strong references to the real world or actual situations.

A Polaroid print is an instant photograph produced using a Polaroid camera, which develops the image immediately after exposure. The camera's internal processing allows the photograph to develop and appear within minutes. The term "Polaroid" is also used more generally to refer to instant photographs and films produced by similar technologies.
Wax is a solid material derived from plant, animal, and petroleum sources. It is used to protect paints from wear, create sculptures, make wax crayons and colored pencils, and for encaustic painting. In encaustic painting, colored beeswax is shaped with special tools to create textured, raised surfaces.
