We have all heard of cave paintings. Those drawings thousands of years old that show us what life was like for ancient civilizations. We don't really know why ancient man painted in the caves. Was it a warning to others? A way to record daily life? Or just saying I was here? Art has always been a big part of civilization. Many inventions have changed the way we record what we see. Think cameras. Imagine how this really changed the way we see the world. Instead of an artist's interpretation of what is seen, now there was a way to actually capture it. From still cameras to movie cameras, it was now easier than ever to record what was happening. Now with the ease of digital photography, anyone can be a photographer. Come along and see how even more advances will change the way we see.
