How did Photography change the way people understand Painting?

250 words (minimum).

This is a reflection essay on John Berger’s TV series "Ways of Seeing," which the class watched but did not finish. The video is available in WEEK 10 and WEEK 11 Folders on Blackboard. (This video is based on Berger's book with the same title, but I do not assign the book to class. The ideas that this video covers originally came from the renowned German literary critic, Walter Benjamin.)

In the textbook, those topics are covered by Chapter 22: Romanticism (read pg 398-414) and Chapter 23: 19th c Realism/Photography (415-432).

Your finished writing needs to be at least 250 words. It should have an introduction, three body paragraphs and a conclusion. Post the writing on your Blogger page under the title, “Painting vs Photography” and label the post “ways of seeing” and "John Berger."
