I. Digital beginnings

1. 1951 first video tape recorder captures live images from television cameras by converting the information into electrical impulses (digital) and saving the information onto magnetic tape (developed by Bing Crosby Laboratories from technology stolen from the NAZIs in the 1930's)

• Charged Couples Device (CCD) sense light and color intensity

2. 1960's NASA uses digital signals on space probes to map lunar surface

• Spy satellites utilize digital technology

3. Texas Instruments patents first film-less camera, 1972 actually freeze-frames video
4. Sony Mavica, 1981- first commercial version, still freeze-framing video. Saved images onto floppy drive- connected to TV and/or printer

Cose-Ups & Macro

Here are some terms from pp.36-39 & 48-49 in Chapter 2:

• Short focal length= wide angle of view
• Wide angle distortion
• Zoom (& the difference between Zoom and Telephoto or long-focal length)
• Macro
• Fish Eye
• Extreme close-up= shallow depth-of-field

REMINDER: Bring a camera to class tomorrow & an object you'd like to photograph in macro.

Painting Terms

 

• Wassily Wassilyevich Kandinsky (1866-1944)-Russian painter/art teacher, inventor of modern abstract painting. Major influence on artists of the "New York School."
• The New York School- an informal group of American poets, painters, dancers, and musicians active in the 1950s, 1960s in New York City. Featured action painting, abstract expressionism, Jazz, improvisational theater, experimental music.
• Abstract Expressionism- Term first used in 1929 in relation to works by Kandinsky, brought back in the late 1940's to describe an American artistic movement comprising diverse styles and techniques and emphasizing especially an artist's liberty to convey attitudes and emotions through nontraditional and usually nonrepresentational means.
• Jackson Pollack (1912-1956)- A "Jack the Dripper," originally from Wyoming, died in a drunk driving accident.
• Willem de Kooning (1904-1997)- Painted abstract women with palette knives. Illegally immigrated from Holland
•  Mark Rothko (1903-1970)- "Multiform," or color-field paintings.

Chapter 2, Lenses

Here are a few terms that will end up on the Chapter 2 quiz.:

• Lens focal length
• Lens speed/Maximum aperture
• Depth of field
• Focal length
• Angle of view
• Magnification

Here are some major concepts from pages 29-35:

• Short focal length= wide angle of view
• Long focal length= narrow angle of view
• Long focal length also creates a more shallow "depth-of-field"
