Activity # 9 Write About It! (REWRITE)

The appearance of visual art has changed to accommodate the changing of the history of art. Before the camera was able to capture still photos, artists were subjected to using art supplies like paint and chalk to create the lasting memories of art. Those memories were visions of art like a still painting or a sculpture. Since the 19th century, art has incorporated the usage of pictures from cameras to begin a life long creation of realistic expressions to share with the world. However, it was the first discovered through the invention of daguerreotype, that we are able to capture and store photographs in a more physical setting (Getlein, 211).We are able to use the freedom of expression to create more human like creations by using everyday fixtures of life to start a new era in the history of art. More artist are shying away from ordinary photos, to focus on more of human experience creations by using everyday pieces of life along with their imagination to create pieces of art that later become an essence to the world. Photography has since given the artist a chance to recreate the scene as it was exactly however, with the help of more modern art supplies the scene could be changed into a more visual setting. By using pictorialism, artists are able to use different techniques to undercut the objectivity of the camera, by creating more gauzy and atmospheric images to create the appearance of art (Getlein, 219). Artists are now able to freely express themselves and their art work to capture and create the realistic images of their memories by incorporating pictures with paintings to share them with the world.
