Relationship Between Photography In Literacy And Picturacy By Jon Kracauer

Early Landscape photography used the same principles as painters in order to create pieces of art. Before the 18th Century, artists used landscapes as backdrops and as a frame for the principal subject. Towards the later part of the century, however, artists such as Nicolas Poussin started to romanticize the environment, instead using it as a principle subject in paintings.

The essay written by Charles Baudelaire, titled “The Modern Public Photography”, is not only very clear to be negative towards the pursuing arts of photography, but also very controversial due to the independent and diverse views on this specific subject matter. Baudelaire makes it very clear in his writings that his opinion is firm on photography and its evolving approach to appease the various spectators of the fine arts. In this essay, Charles Baudelaire illustrates his opinion by insulting multiple previous photographic known ‘art pieces’ and breaking them down into literal meanings, insulting the modern idea of literal duplicates of reality as being defined as “art”, and also persuading those interested in category of photography to seek ‘out-of-the-box’.

Photography gives you a small sample of reality, but these realities have been changed to what the photographer wants to present. However as Sontag stated, “Of course, photographs fill in the blanks in our mental pictures of the present and the past.” Pictures show proof that all of the history that we learn is true, but although it confirms that, pictures does not show us the entire picture of how people felt about the situation. For example, one might have a picture from WWII and show us the setting, but does that picture really show the feeling of the people? That is why we say that photography only goes as far as to how the photographer wants to show the

Art. A word that encompasses different ideas and feelings to everyone of us. Boredom, excitement, hate, love, to the themes of politics, portraits, photographs, comedy and on and on. The art of taking a photograph and transporting it to a piece of canvas with paint and acrylic is called photo realism. A pioneer of her time, Audrey Flack did just that. Her name is synonymous with photorealism in the art world. She took the world by a storm with her paintings of people and and their emotions based off of photography. (Kleiner, 971) Becoming the first artist to actually express emotion into her art as all other photorealistic artist chose emotionless still life. She opened up a can of excitement and depth when she went from abstract painting in the 1950's to the 1960's photorealism. In 1966 her collection was permanently displayed at the Museum of Modern Art, allowing Audrey Flack to become the first photorealistic artist to have this happen to.

The photograph is a very powerful medium. The French painter Paul Delaroche exclaimed upon seeing an early photograph “from now on, painting is dead!” (Sayre, 2000). Many critics did not take photography seriously as a legitimate art form until the 20th century. With the

Photographs are also manifestations of time and records of experience. Consequently, writings on photographic theory are filled with references to representations of the past. Roland Barthes (1981, 76), for instance,

The above noted art works are distinguished basing on the method used to come up with them. While others only need a collection of paints to come up with, there are others that are made from molding and others from taking of photos. The molding art works will always vary basing on the texture of the materials used to mould them. Relatively, the sculptures vary too basing on the materials where they were extracted from. While others will have a soft texture, others tend to bare rough texture. However, the paintings vary basing on the collection of colors used to make them. The painter might chose to either use bright collection of colors or dark collection of colors. Photography is yet another form of art works. The photography work might be distinguished basing on either they are either digital or film among other forms. Arguably, an art work should always have a thousand words to the viewer. This implies that an art work should be more of a self explanatory

In the beginning Mr. Adams contends to find a suitable word to describe what a photograph is and what are the qualities to it. Throughout the “Beauty in Photography” essay, Adams concern is to define how there is beauty in art. In this essay when using ‘beauty’ Adams does not mean it is a pretty looking art but feels that it is more complicated and difficult to define. However, for him he stated that, “Beauty, the Beauty that concerns me is that of Form.

Yes, photography can be a viable artwork, infect it is actually. For understanding this question I would say people need to know what artwork is. According to Oxford English dictionary it clearly states that art work is a form of imaginary, creative and innovative skills in visual forms like paintings, drawings or constructing work which is valued mostly for their beauty or emotional being. A photographer captures the world and the people in photographs, just as any artist does. Photographs are taken and refined to present reality. Paintings are made to keep memories alive, same as photographs, so when a person can look at photographs and remembers that moment. Moreover, photographs can also show something which is happening all over the world, even if you’re not there, like a form of art-communication over the internet or text messaging system.

For over a century there was an argument over wither photography was art or not. Photography changed that art worlds, instead, of getting a portrait painted, people can just take a picture of the person,

In the beginning, I used photography as a tool to capture images. These snapshots were collections of friends and family. Furthermore, I did not understand the science of a camera, or even how the science created art. As I progressed, and got a more advanced camera , I

In Roger Scruton's Photography and Representation the author establishes the idea that ideal photography is not art. In the same breath he says that ideal photography is not necessarily an idea which photographers should strive, nor does it necessarily exist. Yet, he bases his argument upon the ideal. In reviewing his paper, I’ll take a look at why he painstakingly tries to make this distinction between ideal painting and ideal photography. His argument is based upon the proposition that photographs can only represent in a causal fashion, whereas painters create representational artwork via intentional relations. Scruton manages to create a solid argument, but in the end I’ll decide it is not a fair assumption to say that photographs

The article, “Learning to Read from Picture Books,” reveals how children learn to read and communicate multimodality through reading, writing, and art experiences around picture books. As the article mentions, humans communicate using different modes. For example, some of these modes include communicating linguistically, visually, auditory, gestural, and spatially. In order for children to be able to read, write, and speak, they have to be exposed to many of these modes. Picture books are known to be a type of multimodal text. The article includes a short scenario about a first grader named Allie. She shared what she thought about picture books. Allie made a statement during retelling time. She said that the picture in the book tells her more about a story. She said she was able to see something in the illustration that the written text did not say. For example, she stated that she was able to tell that the Willy was really trying. This is not something that was stated in the text, but she was able to tell by looking at the illustration. However, she also stated that there are times when she didn’t know what the illustrations showed, but it was explained through the text. There are times that the written text doesn’t give a lot of description for young children to be able to picture it in their mind. When there is an illustration to go along with the written text, children get a better idea on what the author is trying to say. The illustrations are essential when telling the

Photography is the process of taking photographs and printing them out. Mostly used for personal purposes, photography is a common object in our everyday lives. It is used to make memories, track the course of our lives, and simply capture the beauty of and event or object.

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera. They are made with the eye, heart and head – Henri Cartier Bresson.
