| - | The //Work_type// field is used to further sub-divide the terms used in the [[Category]] field. It refers the work's specific physical form, function, or media. | + | Use the //Material_Technique// field to record what materials were used to make the work. In our Luna database we treat this field as a free text field where a list of materials and their relationship to each other are represented in a single phrase. Take this information from the image source or other reputable sources that you come across while cataloging the work. Attempt to use previously used entries for common material techniques (e.g. oil on canvas), but feel free to create a new material technique if one does not exist. Do not use the 'Material_Technique refid source' or 'Material_Technique refid' fields. |

Do not include terms that describe the content of the work, e.g. portrait or landscape. Those terms belong in the [[Subject]] field. Use the singular when a single work is being cataloged and pluralize the term when more than one is being cataloged. | ||
