I need help with my essay- compare and contrast a photograph and a drawing?

Question

Here's what I'm suppose to do:

Using an example of each, diagram how each of these types of figures detail unique and necessary information. When is it more important to use a photograph? When is it more important to use a drawing? Be specific to the examples you choose and generalize from them their importance in understanding the information contained in the picture.

So can you guys help me with this? Do you know when is it more important to use a photograph or drawing?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Well, photographs are good to capture people's expressions at certain moments and things like that, whereas drawings are good at conveying certain emotions (from the artist). Really, just brainstorm on what you think photos are good for, and what drawings are good for. They really just want to hear your opinion, and have you support it. Good luck, and hope that gives you a starting point.
