Sculpture
Netsuke of tigress with two cubs, mid-19th century Japan, ivory with shell inlay Sculpture in stone survives far better than works of art in perishable materials, and often represents the majority of the surviving works (other than pottery) from ancient cultures, though conversely traditions of sculpture in wood may have vanished almost entirely. However, most ancient sculpture was brightly painted, and this has been lost.[2] Sculpture has been central in religious devotion in many cultures, and until recent centuries large sculptures, too expensive for private individuals to create, were usually an expression of religion or politics. Those cultures whose sculptures have survived in quantities include the cultures of the Ancient Mediterranean, India and China, as well as many in South America and Africa.

The Most Important Developments in Photography
In my last article I listed the three most important developments in photography. Then someone pointed out that I’d made an error. I mean, I may have misspoken. Wait, I mean I was less correct than I might have been. It seemed like it would be a good idea to expand the list of the most important developments in still photography that I started in my last article. So, ladies and gentleman: without further ado, here for your argumentative pleasure, in order, are the most important technical developments in still photography as we practice the craft today. 1. Without the camera, nothing else really matters, so this has to go first. 2. Without good negatives and prints, photography only mattered to a few people. 3. If you don’t have good glass, you can’t have sharp lenses. 4. Without anti-reflective coatings, only a few glass elements can be used in a lens. 5. “Here come the rabble.” was Charles Dodson’s (AKA Lewis Carrol) remark when he was first told about the new invention, film. 6. 7.
How to write about your photographs | Conscientious Photography Magazine
I frequently run into being asked by photographers how they can become better at writing about their own work. This is not an easy topic to talk about, certainly not without using specific examples. But I thought I’d do so anyway, in the hope that those who are interested in it might get something out of it. Before going into any of the details, I will have to make a disclaimer: I wrote a piece about statements before. I will also have to make an assumption: I’m assuming that you, the photographer, want to be understood. How do you write about your photographs? If what you’re writing about is not in the pictures you’re in trouble. But writing about something that’s not in the pictures teaches you a lesson: your ideas of what you’re doing might be off. At the same time, have a good look at what you’re writing, and try to figure out why it’s not in the pictures. I’m a firm believer than good editing requires a thorough understanding of the photographs in question. What to do, though?

Architecture
Brunelleschi, in the building of the dome of Florence Cathedral in the early 15th-century, not only transformed the building and the city, but also the role and status of the architect.[1][2] Architecture (Latin architectura, after the Greek ἀρχιτέκτων – arkhitekton – from ἀρχι- "chief" and τέκτων "builder, carpenter, mason") is both the process and the product of planning, designing, and constructing buildings and other physical structures. Architectural works, in the material form of buildings, are often perceived as cultural symbols and as works of art. "Architecture" can mean: Architecture has to do with planning, designing and constructing form, space and ambience to reflect functional, technical, social, environmental and aesthetic considerations. The word "architecture" has also been adopted to describe other designed systems, especially in information technology.[3] Theory of architecture[edit] Historic treatises[edit] Modern concepts of architecture[edit] History[edit]
