The table below summarizes the notes I took from both the workshop on sequencing and courses in art history.
| Subject Matter | Primary Concern | Comments |
| Pictograph | Early form of mimetic device | Helped you remember something; relationship between memory and object |
| Ideograph | Idea, concept picture | Sequential formulation: how one image can extend another and enhance the meaning of both |
| Symbol | Something that stands in for something else | Use of rhetorical devices such as synecdoche, metonymy |
| Emblematic image | Symbol with a referent | Not unlike metaphor; adding a referent to a symbol to change its meaning |
