7. Mono-printing A form of printmaking where the image can only be made once, unlike most printmaking which allows for multiple originals.

8. Etching Printmaking technique that uses chemical action to produce incised lines in a metal printing plate which then hold the applied ink and form the image.

9. Time-based media Refers to art that is dependent on technology and has a durational dimension. For example a short film, or time lapse photography (a sequence of images that portray the passing of time).

10. Assemblage Artwork made by assembling different objects often scavenged by the artist, sometimes bought specifically for the piece.

11. Sculpture Three-dimensional art made by one of four basic processes: carving, modelling, casting, constructing.

12. Perspective A system for representing objects in three-dimensional space (i.e. for representing the visible world) on the two- dimensional surface of a picture.

13. Mixed media A term used to describe works composed of a combination of different media or materials.

14. Maquette A model for a larger piece of sculpture.
