Pete, this whole dicussion is getting nowhere this way. I've got
the feeling that we use the same words but that they have
a different meaning for both of us.
We'd have to definiate what's ascii art, artform, medium, thechniques
and maybe a few other things if we want this dicussion to be constructive.

For instance, I'm very surprise that you write that styles are part
of an artform and techniques part of a medium.
As far as I am concerned they are not.

To me, in this particular example:
-woodcutting is the artform
-prints are the medium (woodcuts are traditionaly only printed
 on paper or textile)
-styles are related to periods in time or to persons
-techniques are related to styles, to periods in time, to persons,
 to evolution of tools and inventions (paper was invented in the
 year 105 and the first machine to produce paper was made in 1798).

How do we go further from here?
