NOTES
- September 15, 2016- This note is currently located in the CC-Process/materials notebook and I am moving it to the New-Materials & Techniques notebook to consolidate all D3C online content. This note was not tagged with internal tags apart from %PictionMW indicating that Megan Wanttie added an image to Piction to act as an illustration for the CC. I added an #incomplete tag and multiple curatorial departments to prevent the note from going unnoticed. (EAS)
- 5/21/18, HAB updated formatting, added associated cc, wrote rule, added audio assets.
