Activity # 9 Write About It!

The history of mass media has given the world a lifetime of still photos. Visual art has given us the ability to create, capture, and express the unrealistic and realistic world of art through the eyes of humans. Everyone enjoys a good piece of art that represents someone or something we can relate to. However, it is with the changing of times that we are now able to fully enjoy it because we are better able to see, feel, and obtain a better sense of what we are admiring. Many years ago, all we were able to fully understand were the stories, images, and illusions we were told that consisted of a story or the teaching of one.

Since the discovery of varies types of visual aids we can use them in the production of plays and movies about arts and science in fiction and non-fiction roles, while these very same roles in life has also given us the complete opportunity to share in the beliefs and theories about art. It was first discovered through the invention of daguerreotype, that we are able to capture and store photographs in a more physical setting (211). Those settings consist of memories, gatherings, and social events that we want to remain in our memory, but our hearts as well.

Every artist has their own way of expressing their art work by using different methods however; it is those different methods that separate them from the rest. We expect art to be simple yet understanding, but when it is done with still photos that are able to include our most treasured moments we are able to share those same stories, images, and illusions with the world.
