Question 1: Thomas Wedgewood made the silver nitrate sun print in the 1790’s, Wedgewood used a chemical coating paper process that had silver nitrate solution which exposes the paper but requires natural light after the picture is ready photogram is being used to help calm the chemical coating. The chemical coating process wasn’t a stable and caused pictures to be dysfunctional. . Question 2: Louis Jacques Mande Daguerre made the Louis Daguerre in 1838, which was made with a camera obscura but had no color in it. The Daguerreotype manuals went around the world a year later and begin studies on the process. Historical it was the first photograph and changed the art world view on images because it was just so perfectly designed. Question 3:
Making a cyanotype for the first time was a fun experience. A cyanotype is blueprint (literally) that makes a silhouette of the object. It was an early kind of photograph that was created by John Herschel (Stulik, 4). As I learned the process of making the cyanotype and made two prints myself, I noticed that it is similar as taking a picture with a camera when it comes to their uses and processes
A Lithograph was produced by firstly drawing the image on a flat stone surface in an oil based medium, the stone is then moistened with water which is repelled by the oil the surface is then inked with an oil based ink which is unable to adhere to the wet surface. A Chromolithograph is a coloured picture produced by making and superimposing multiple lithographic prints, each of which adds a different colour. The process of colour lithography was first experimented with in the early 1800s by Aloys Senefelder the inventor of lithography, while ‘chromolithography’ was patented in 1837 by a French printer Godefroy Engelmann.
Photogenic drawing is an invention which is an early photographic procedure made by William Henry Fox Talbot. According to Malcolm Daniel his invention, which was made during the industrial revolution, opened up a whole different world for photography (Malcolm Daniel, William Henry Fox Talbot (1800–1877) and the Invention of Photography, Metmuseum.org). Moreover, Talbot’s innovation became the foundation of 19th and 20th century photography. The photogenic drawing concept led through many impacts on modern world.
The media object selected for analysis is the Daguerreotype. Louis-Jacques-Mande Daguerre (1787-1851), a Romantic painter and printmaker, had introduced the Daguerreotype on 7th January 1839 and would forever change the perspectives of the visual experience through photography (Daniel, 2004). Ever since the advent of the Daguerreotype, people were able to view a detailed imprinting of a certain visual frame on a treated sheet of copper (which today is called the film) (Daniel, 2004).

Jacques Louis David was a french painter and artist who primarily focused his work on Neoclassicism. During the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century, David's artwork flourished in France and became well known after a while. David used several different techniques and styles of art in his time, but he mastered a style of rigorous contours, sculpted forms in his paintings, and polished surfaces. He mainly painted in the service of royalty, radical revolutionaries, and an emperor. Even though his political allegiances shifted, he kept his art techniques faithful to the principles of Neoclassicism. Jacques Louis David intrigues the viewers attention by exaggerating the actions and movement of the people displayed
For many years the only way to capture an image required one to paint or draw the model or object. This was until 1814 when Joseph Nicephore Niepce a French inventor, took the first picture in history. Even though the picture was a permanent print the image known as “View from the window at Le Guas” took eight hours to expose!
The first type of using light to make a picture was the daguerreotype. Both Louis Jacques Mande Daguerre and Nicephore Niepce, who passed away before the public was introduced to the daguerreotype, founded this type of picture taking. However, before this Louis Daguerre made a "theater without actors." Beaumont Newhall explains that this was an illusion made by extraordinary lighting effects that made the 45 ½ foot by 71 ½ foot pictures appear to change as one looked at them (2).
Rene Lalique is a legend for his Japanese style of Art Nouveau Jewelry like the Ornament of a Snake, and dragonfly, that he created. His pectoral jewelry was centered around nature, women, and fantasy combined into butterflies, mermaids, dragons, and insects, and why he chose to define his work the way he did. Rene Lalique has brought the modern jewelry to life. Today jewelers from all over include human faces, animals, and nature onto their jewelry. People love the realistic natural look of each piece for their meaning in life.
Scientists started to study the earth and it’s positioning in the universe. This was a time when the people started taking more of an interest in astronomy and mathematical equations. During the time of the Catholic Reformation, artists began to challenge all the rules that society has set for artistic design. Artists starting with Parmigianino, Tintoretto, and El Greco began to add a wide variety of colors into their paintings, challenging the way things have been done in the past. These artists also added abnormal figures or altered the proportions in paintings.
Andrew Lloyd Green Smith’s painting, Eileen Kramer, represents a long shot of an old lady that is thinking. Green smith uses media of oil on linen, which has
As seen in paintings of battle scenes and portraits of wealthy Renaissance aristocracy, people have always strived to preserve and document their existence. The creation of photography was merely the logical continuum of human nature’s innate desire to preserve the past, as well as a necessary reaction to a world in a stage of dramatic and irreversible change. It is not a coincidence that photography arose in major industrial cities towards the end of the nineteenth century.
The idea for photographing came around in 1814 when Joseph Niépce wanted an image of his son before he left for war. He succeeded in making the first camera in 1827, but the camera needed at least eight hours to produce one picture. Parisian Louis Daguerre invented the next kind of camera in 1839, who worked with Niépce for four years. His camera only needed fifteen to thirty minutes to produce a picture. Both Niécpe’s and Daguerre’s cameras made pictues on metal plates. In the same year Daguerre made his camera, an Englishman by the name of William Henry Fox Talbot made the first camera that photographed pictures on paper. The camera printed a reverse picture onto a negative and chemicals were needed to produce the photo up right. In 1861, color film came along and pictures were produced with color instead of being just black and white. James Clerk Maxwell is credited with coming up with color film, after he took the ...
In lecture on Monday, Lisa talked about the printmaker Warrington Colescott. While I enjoyed the print we looked at (The Last Judgement, 1987, Coloretching), after looking him up I found it wasn’t my favorite of his and that I am really drawn to Secretary Seward Buys Alaska (1973, color intaglio on paper) for its use of specks to create snow and minimal
There was a time when the only way to capture a moment or surrounding was by a painting. Joseph Nicephore Niepce created the first photograph ever in 1827. Photography went thru many beneficial changes since then only improving and
