Answer: Dry media in art is when any dry material is used, it can include charcoals, pastels, pencils, etc. Not things like paints, watercolors, etc.
Dry media material's advantages and disadvantages may include:
Pencil: Great for quick sketches. Can be used for many uses; BUT, they smear.
Charcoal: Flexible; easy to work with and easy to use for starting artists. Great for any needed dark, bold markings. BUT, they smear.
Chalk: Gives life and adds bold color to the art piece, BUT, also smears.
