    Key Terms

    Iconographic convention(in art and visual philosophy)
    A shared, established way that artists represent things in images—like how a halo around someone's head means they're holy, or how a broken chain means freedom.
    Most suggestive moment criterion(in art theory and composition)
    A rule or standard saying that the 'best' moment to show in art is the one that hints at or suggests the most about what's happening in the story.
    Simultaneously(as used to contrast with how past industrial change affected jobs slowly over time)
    At the same time, rather than one after another.
    Temporal stages(as used in metaphysics)
    Temporary versions or slices of an object as it exists at different moments in time.
    necessary condition
