Answer to Question 1

A
During the 1920s, the expression art cinema came into use producing independent movies that didn't conform to popular storytelling techniques. The directors were recognized for their individualistic style and were named after the French word for author.

Answer to Question 2

Responses will vary depending on selection of photographs. Consider the use of the camera as a tool for creating an image, and how photographers and artists have employed this medium for their creative process. Discuss the relationship photography has had with other arts, such as painting, and its role in the era of abstraction.
