Activity #9(RE-RE-DO): Write about it

Where wiould be be today if camera's were not invented? We will still be capturing images by painting potraits. The camera as we know it has been through many evolutions since it was invented.
Before the invention of the camera, other forms of capturing images such as painting of potraits were used to convey them, and now the camera that was so inacessible to everyday people is seen in various forms.Before the camera was made public in the year 1939, potraits were solely the way that people could capture images.The early camera invented by Joseph nicephore niepce was very painstakenly difficult to use. The plate of the camera had to be exposed to sunlight for very long intervals. Artists main focus were to create clear and precise images to the best of their ability and try to ensure that their paintings could be understood, but once the camera was invented, it became the new realism because of its ability to convey exact images. Artists began using collage and photos and tried to integrate them into their artwork, they began to focus on color and how to use them expressively in order to gain a desired effect. Artists began to focus on arranging design and how light could affect the way their works of art could be percieved by the observer.
Nowadays, the camera has evolved in so many ways that the early inventors will be in awe of how the camera has changed, there are now camera's that work underwater, camera phones, disposable camera's, digital camera's just to name a few, in my opinion, this is just the beginning.
