Since the development of photography, the role of an artist has been forever changed. This Module addresses the discovery of photographic processes from the camera obscura to the digital revolution, as well as photography’s significance as an art form and as a vehicle for social change. Film, a descendant of photography, has transformed from novel entertainment to a significant art form capable of accommodating a variety of experimental and thematic statements. In “Moving Images: Film and Digital Art” we will discuss the significance of motion pictures, from black-and-white silent films to television, video, and digital art forms.
