Keywords Click a term to view the records with the same keyword
This object has the following keywords:
  • animal art - Works of art in any medium in which an animal or animals are the primary focus; includes real and imaginary animals.
  • Animalia - Kingdom containing multicellular organisms having cells bound by a plasma membrane and organized into tissue and specialized tissue systems that permit them to either move about in search of food or to draw food toward themselves. Unable to make their own food within themselves, as photosynthetic plants do, they rely on consuming preformed food. They possess a nervous system with sensory and motor nerves, enabling them to receive environmental stimuli and to respond with specialized movements.

    - A zoological revolution, 2002:
  • figurative art - Art that portrays forms recognizably derived from objective sources, in however altered or distorted form. Includes but not limited to representations of the human figure.
  • figures - Representations of humans, animals, or mythical beasts, in any medium.
  • figurines - Three-dimensional works that represent humans, animals, or mythical beasts at less than half life-size. While the term may be used interchangeably with "statuette" in certain situations, it differs in that a statuette is always free-standing while a figurine may be part of a larger work, such as a decorative detail on a candelabra or mirror.
  • representation - A manner of expression by the artist in which the subject matter is presented so that the observer is reminded of actual visible forms. However, the subject represented may or may not exist in the visible world. For example, representations may include presentations of subject matter that are invisible to the eye, such as emotions or imaginary events, as if they are visible.
  • stone - General term for rock that has been cut, shaped, crushed, or otherwise formed for use in construction or other purposes. Includes the specific archaeological and anthropological sense of individual stones which may be decorated or ornamented and which may be used in ritual contexts. These are usually not carved or dressed, and so differ from sculptures made from stone.
