The named technical methods and processes artists use to make works, considered for how a work is made rather than what discipline it belongs to: fresco and tempera, chiaroscuro and sfumato, engraving, etching and lithography, lost-wax casting, and pointillism as a paint-application method, among other named processes spanning painting, sculpture and printmaking. Belongs here: a named technical method or process of making art. Does not belong here: the discipline or medium itself, such as Painting or Sculpture, which is Art Forms' subject, a period style or school built partly around a technique, such as Impressionism or Pointillism as a movement, which is Movements' subject, a specific work made using a technique, which is Works' subject, or an artist associated with a technique, who is an Artists entity.
