An illustration is a displayed visualization form presented as a drawing, painting, photograph or other work of art that is created to elucidate or dictate sensual information (such as a story, poem or newspaper article) by providing a visual representation graphically.

History

Early history

The earliest forms of illustration were prehistoric cave paintings. Before the invention of the printing press, books were hand-illustrated. Illustration has been used in China and Japan since the 8th century, traditionally by creating woodcuts to accompany writing.

15th century through 18th century

During the 15th century, books illustrated with woodcut illustrations became available. The main processes used for reproduction of illustrations during the 16th and 17th centuries were engraving and etching. At the end of the 18th century, lithography allowed even better illustrations to be reproduced. The most notable illustrator of this epoch was William Blake who rendered his illustrations in the medium of relief etching.

A. Painting is a medium - a painting is a piece of art that is made of paint and canvas and whatnot. Illustration is a task - an illustration is a piece of art that accompanies text (it "illustrates" the written words). It can be done in any medium. So if your painting is going along with an article or in a book, then it's an illustration and a painting. If it is intended to stand alone, it's a painting, not an illustration.

I cannot add an illustration to a song on itunes? Is there anything wrong with my computer?
Q. I am currently using Vista OS so i think there might be a virus in my computer or something, it got me so angry yesterday because i just couldn't do it (add the illustration and lyrics to the song), i haven't tried in other tracks so i just want some advice from you.

A. Right click on the song and select "Get Info". Click on Artwork and select a .jpg image. If you cannot select the tab "Artwork", try adding a name to the album of the song, and make sure that if you put this name of the album to another song, that the track numbers work out (ex: track 1 of 8, track 2 of 8 etc.) Now try to select Artwork and add your image. If this still doesnt work, try converting the song to a smaller file size by using any program you'd like! (even windows movie maker)
