  1. Drawing
    - drawing is the most basic art technique
    - hatching: created with fine parallel lines
    - cross-hatching: a second set of fine lines placed across the first, often at a 90 degree angle
    - stippling: use of small dots used to create shadowing

  2. Photography:
    -cheap alternative to drawing and painting.
    -Louis Daguerre created daguerreotype, an early form of photography.
    -His colleague took the first picture in 1822.
    -Boulevard du Temple, 1838, first photo taken of a person.
    -people had to hold still for a long time to be in a picture.
    -First people were a shoe polisher and his customer, they got caught because everyone else moved to fast and they stayed long enough to get caught.
    -Painters felt like they had to paint more realistically.
    -19th century, painters became more abstract which isn't good with the camera.
    -The two types don't compete anymore.
    -Photoshop has moved photography in different directions than ever before.
