Document Summary

Although this appears to be a list of definitions, it is more than that. This list is not something to simply memorize. Within any field of study, there is unique jargon, or language, used in order to understand what is studied as well as to establish a common knowledge base. The mastery of these terms will help you understand the lectures more directly. I cannot stress how important it is that you have a grasp of these concepts. Never hesitate to email or ask me for clarification-these are not always easy to understand. But i will say that as you read & as we move through the course, they will make more sense to you. Really: markmaking: a contemporary term but one that is really old as time. It describes the attempts by any artist, craftsperson, shaman, or any human to put their mark on something, to announce their existence in the world.
