History of Photography Timeline-
This assignment you will be creating an actual hard copy History of Photography timeline.
Details will be discussed in class but the list below has all the events you must include along with additional events and requirements.
Other ideas for how you make the timeline can be proposed but may not be approved, have a plan before you ask to do it another way.
You can make a Google slideshow and print it as a basic timeline but creative and handmade projects will receive more points.

Read aloud in class:
The way we think about time is learned. Over the eons, different cultures and peoples have held different beliefs about the nature of time. Western historical thought is based on certain assumptions about the nature of time. When we make a timeline of historical events, we create a graphic representation of how we in Western secular society think about time. We link units of time with events. We make a sequence that suggests a past, present, and future. The direction says that time and history proceed in a line, not a circle. Portrayed in a line, events are unique in history and do not repeat themselves in exact ways. History incorporates change. Sequences in a timeline, where some events happen before others, also suggest the possibility of cause and effect. They suggest that events exist in relationship to one another, in a context. Thematic timelines suggest turning points, linear trends, and progressions, whether or not these exist in fact. Thus, making a timeline allows one to plot events in a graphic way, to see possible relationships, to help memory, and to grasp sequence. In the process, culling from the many possible dates sharpens one’s appreciation for the dates necessarily excluded. Trust, but verify!!I mean that this video has many of the items on the list. It could help you but make sure it is correct. You need more info than the date but this could help you start.
