All types of art have existed for many years, starting from 10,000 BC. The meaning of art is a way for someone to express feelings, thoughts and sometimes used for entertainment purposes. The oldest forms of art were commonly recognized in the form of drawings, paintings and sculptures. Drawings in caves dating back to the Ice Age as well as inscriptions and legendary paintings in pyramids in Egypt have been discovered. Other art forms came with the discovery of music and theater. It was only later that another art form appeared in Europe. This art form was known as magic lanterns, which consisted of a number of various images placed in front of a light or flame. The light would cast a shadow of the image for entertainment purposes. After the invention of the camera, a man named Eadweard developed an experiment that involved placing 12 cameras around a racetrack. The cameras were placed in different locations next to each other and took photos as the horses passed by. The results were twelve different photos in sequence and by quickly moving the photographs it appeared as if the horse was running. This was called moving photography. Like the magic lantern, motion photography had the same concept when images were projected onto a large screen for an audience, thus bringing us our first films. Movies became an art form because, like a play, movies were a way for someone to express their passion, love, humor, and mystery for entertainment purposes. The art form I have chosen to write about is a film, called Schindler's List. Schindler's List is a 1993 American epic historical drama film directed and co-produced by Steven Spielberg and written by Steven Zaillian. It is based on the novel Schindler's Ark by Thomas Keneally....... middle of paper ......e that even in a time of such cruelty, good will prevail. The Jewish prisoners depend on Oskar Schindler and his kindness for their lives, but later in the film they become loyal to him. Jewish prisoners show their gratitude by making Oskar Schindler a ring out of gold fillings from their teeth. This act of Jewish prisoners removing gold fillings from their teeth shows that kindness is usually rewarded. This film also affected my view of the history of our world. The film presents the history of the Holocaust and gives us information about how parts of the Holocaust took place and how the Jewish people were treated. The importance of history is very real and should be of great importance to all of us. I strongly believe that we should study and learn our history, so that the chances of history repeating itself are less..
