Landscape: Activity 3

Compare and contrast a landscape photograph with a landscape painting. Discuss the expressive possibilities of each medium using your examples to illustrate your argument. Choose your examples carefully as representative of the medium.

There are only so many perspectives a photographer can take a picture from, its hard to get a shot from different angles. A painter has endless perspectives and can honestly imagine and create a painting from whichever angle they want to. You can literally add anything you want to, something a photographer can't do. Although, the pictures of nature or landscape are beautiful considering thats what was already naturally there. And to be giving a form of art with your own style yet not much creativity, is still amazing. There isn't too much you can get creative with.
