Metalcut was a relief printing technique used primarily in Europe from around 1450 to 1540. The technique involved using thin metal plates. One method involved cutting or hammering away parts of the plate that were not intended to print, while the other method used engraving to create white lines on a black background.

Digital art refers to artistic practices or works that utilize digital technology as an essential component of both the creation and presentation process. Since the 1970s, various terms like multimedia and computer art have been used to describe this practice. Digital art is a subset of the broader category known as new media art, which has brought significant changes to the art world. Technology has transformed traditional forms of painting, drawing, sound/music, and sculpture into new digital formats, expanding the possibilities of artistic expression.

Woodcut is a printing technique where an image is carved into the surface of a woodblock using gouges, with the remaining flat surface holding the ink for printing. The areas cut away by the artist do not carry ink, while the uncut areas do, producing the desired print. The carving follows the wood's grain, unlike wood engraving, where the block is cut across the end-grain. Ink is applied to the surface with a roller, ensuring only the flat, uncarved areas receive ink, leaving the recessed, non-printing areas clean.
