Painting vs Photography

                

              Trying to find out the Who, What, When, Where and Why? Isn't as easy as it sounds without the help of a keen eye. The skills needed to build a keen eyes would be, knowledge of what's being studied. Plus, the desire to focus your time and line of vision. While trying to focus your line of vision, the newly arrived use of photography comes in handy. The use of photography has changed the way we see and create  art exponentially.

                The use of photography in art is new to the scene, but from the looks of how dependent we've become by it, it'll be here for a while. Photography helped to spur Hollywood  The ideas that people of the 20 and 21st century take for granted would have sounded like unbelievable magic in the past. I would think the best way in the past to share art was by word of mouth. If you did not have the money or time to travel to the art it could not travel to you. The available of art sharing was changed by photography. 

                 Moving from the past to the present we see that our learning has only just begun. The introduction of photography to our lives is giving way to re-teaching the way we think of and share art. Now it's like everyone has a camera in their pockets, on their cell phones, and they are all trying to tell their story. Photography it possible to give old works of art not commonly seen available to everyone now and in the future.  

              This futuristic use of photography  to show and share paintings is powerful.  Photography has the power to copy and share images simultaneous around the world. This gives everyone a chance to see and judge rare pieces of art work for themselves. So the original meaning may be changed or even developed in to a new idea. With the development of photography the future of art looks like a peg in the right direction for a long future.
