IcePrincessKRS Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 Actually, I already knew what they all meant. I'd learned them when I was a junior in high school. I didn't know what "chiaroscuro" meant, and wasn't 100% sure about emolument. The others I knew. But I always look stuff up if I don't have a clue what it means. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
