Photography originated from the camera obscura, which was a darkened room or box with a small hole that projected an inverted image on the opposite wall. Over time, the camera obscura shrank in size and lenses were added to focus images. Two main photographic processes emerged in the 19th century - the daguerreotype invented by Daguerre and Niépce, which produced sharp detailed images on silver-coated plates, and the calotype process invented by Talbot which allowed for negatives and multiple prints. Entrepreneurs like Nadar and Disdéri popularized portraiture studios and new formats like cartes-de-visite. The development of photography influenced painting as Impressionists captured light
Patterns and colours began invading our modern lives. Some craftsmen like William Morris thought to tame them. They did this by slowing down the mechnical processes that were shaped by development of favouring of highly brutal yet established industrial production processes. Design as much as the workforce became mechanised. These men and women, became became fearful about what had/or what would become of the individual. Their testimony and challenge was to make sense of the new world of industrialised design and the accompanying methods through stepping back and thinking how design and processes could be tamed and reined in to have a more humanistic scale.

Van Gogh was one of the first artists to use paint in tubes, which allowed him to develop his signature thick and bright brush strokes. The invention of photography in the 1840s inspired genres like photojournalism. Advances like calculators and computers have transformed graphic design, animation, music, and other art forms. Today's digital tools offer artists new opportunities to create and share their work with broad audiences.

14. Technologies of Art Production: PRINTMAKING Prints are derived from a matrix, or a mother image. This can be a block of wood, a metal plate, a slab of limestone, a nylon mesh screen or another material. The matrix gets between the work and the artist, but it allows for the creation of multiples.
15. Technologies of Art Production: PRINTMAKING: Relief Printing An image is carved into a surface like a block of wood, a linoleum panel, or rubber. Whatever surface area is left gets inked and pressed into paper. For each color, a different block must be used. This woodcut print used three blocks.

19. Technologies of Art Production: PRINTMAKING: Intaglio INTAGLIO PRINTING An image is etched into a metal plate and ink is scraped into these etched grooves. The ink is then wiped off the surface. When the intaglio is pressed, the paper is traditionally wet. The wet paper grabs the Ink out of all the grooves in the plate. Intaglios have distinct embossments.
20. Technologies of Art Production: PRINTMAKING: Intaglio Drawing through “Hard Ground” using an etching stylus Intaglio scrapers, stylus
21. Technologies of Art Production: PRINTMAKING: Lithography Invented by German playwright Aloys Senefelder in 1796 as a way to cheaply publish music. A slab of limestone is drawn upon with grease pencil. The image is then chemically etched in the stone, allowing the printing of multiples. This process is still used on a large scale using aluminum or polyester plates instead of stones.
22. Technologies of Art Production: PRINTMAKING: Lithography A Litho stone is drawn on with a greasy crayon or liquid medium.
23. Technologies of Art Production: PRINTMAKING: Lithography Nitric acid is mixed with gum arabic and applied to the drawing.
24. Technologies of Art Production: PRINTMAKING: Lithography After etching, the stone (or plate) is rolled up with ink. The ink sticks to the drawn area and does not stick to the un-drawn area.
25. Technologies of Art Production: PRINTMAKING: Lithography After inking, a piece of paper is laid over the inked image and sent through a press. After printing, the printed paper is removed from the stone.
26. Technologies of Art Production: PRINTMAKING: Lithography Multiple color “runs” can be printed in sequence to make multi-color lithos. Beauvais Lyons, Micropterus trichopilaris, 3-color litho, 2009.
27. Technologies of Art Production: PRINTMAKING: Lithography LITHOGRAPHY Was the most popular form of printing in Europe and the US until mechanical plate lithography replaced it in the early 20th Century.
28. Technologies of Art Production: PRINTMAKING: Silkscreen Printing The matrix is a piece of nylon fabric stretched over a screen frame. A stencil is made on the mesh, which the ink is pushed through to create flat areas of color. Andy Warhol elevated this cheap commercial technique to the level of fine art.
29. Technologies of Art Production: PRINTMAKING: Silkscreen Printing Ink is pushed through a nylon mesh screen in which a stencil has been made. Silkscreen can be easily applied to t-shirts, hats, signs, etc.
30. Technologies of Art Production: PRINTMAKING: Inkjet Printing The fastest and most ubiquitous commercial method today. Who knows what will replace it? It is used by the best selling painter in the US. Thomas Kinkade, Make A Wish Cottage, oil on inkjet print on canvas, 2005
31. The Technologies of Art Production: PHOTOGRAPHY The first European drawing of a CAMERA OBSCURA. 1544
32. The Technologies of Art Production: PHOTOGRAPHY 18th Century innovations to the camera obscura. The Camera Obscura was a drawing instrument that used a lens and a dark space to create an upside-down image of reality. It would eventually be combined with the use of film and mechanized during the industrial revolution to become what we think of when we think of a camera.
33. The Technologies of Art Production: PHOTOGRAPHY The first permanent photograph was an image produced in 1826 by the French inventor NicephoreNiepce. However, because his photographs took so long to expose (8 hours), he sought to find a new process.
34. The Technologies of Art Production: PHOTOGRAPHY Louis Daguerre took the first ever photo of a person in 1839 when, while taking a daguerreotype of a Paris street, a pedestrian stopped for a shoe shine, long enough to be captured by the long exposure (seven minutes).

41. Technologies of Art Production: SCULPTURE Relief sculptures are similar to 2D works in that their 3D forms are raised from a flat background. In low relief or bas-relief, the forms project only lightly from the background.
42. Technologies of Art Production: SCULPTURE In high relief, figures project at least half their natural depth.
43. Technologies of Art Production: SCULPTURE Freestanding sculptures have fronts, backs sides and tops. They invite the viewer to walk around, underneath, or even inside them.
44. Technologies of Art Production: SCULPTURE Subtractive Process: such as carving, unwanted material is removed.
45. Technologies of Art Production: SCULPTURE Additive Process: such as modeling, casting and constructing, material is added, assembled, or built up to reach its final form.
