• animal art - Works of art in any medium in which an animal or animals are the primary focus; includes real and imaginary animals.
• Anura - Order of amphibians characterized by larvae lacking true teeth and external gills, adults being tailless and having elongated hind limbs modified for jumping, and a single frontoparietal and no lacrimal bone in skull. Dates from the Middle Jurassic to present, including two extinct and 28 or more extant families with over 5,400 living species.
• clay - Naturally occurring sediments that are produced by chemical actions resulting during the weathering of rocks. Clays are composed of hydrated aluminum silicates, such as Kaolinite, Illite, Palygorskite, Attapulgite, Bentonite, and Montmorillonite. Small amounts of other minerals can change the color (white, yellow, brown or red) and texture of the clays. Clays may include all earths that form a paste with water and harden when heated.
• frogs - General term for any member of the order Anura that is smooth-skinned, semi-aquatic, and leaping, as distinguished from more terrestrial, squat, warty, hopping anurans, which are called "toads." There is no taxonomic distinction between frogs and toads.
• 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.
