Photography is the science, art, application and practice of creating durable images by recording light or other electromagnetic radiation, either electronically by means of an image sensor, or chemically by means of a light-sensitive material such as photographic film.

Printmaking is the process of making artworks by printing, normally on paper.

Printmaking normally covers only the process of creating prints that have an element of originality, rather than just being a photographic reproduction of a painting.

Except in the case of monotyping, the process is capable of producing multiples of the same piece, which is called a print.

Each print produced is not considered a "copy" but rather is considered an "original".

This is because typically each print varies to an extent due to variables intrinsic to the printmaking process, and also because the imagery of a print is typically not simply a reproduction of another work but rather is often a unique image designed from the start to be expressed in a particular printmaking technique.

A print may be known as an impression.

Printmaking (other than monotyping) is not chosen only for its ability to produce multiple impressions, but rather for the unique qualities that each of the printmaking processes lends itself to.

Sculpture is the branch of the visual arts that operates in three dimensions.

It is one of the plastic arts.

Durable sculptural processes originally used carving (the removal of material) and modelling (the addition of material, as clay), in stone, metal, ceramics, wood and other materials but, since Modernism, there has been an almost complete freedom of materials and process.

A wide variety of materials may be worked by removal such as carving, assembled by welding or modelling, or molded, or cast.

Painting is the practice of applying paint, pigment, color or other medium to a solid surface (support base).

The medium is commonly applied to the base with a brush, but other implements, such as knives, sponges, and airbrushes, can be used.
