Well I saw today that this was #5 in the "Most Wanted Stubs" category so I thought I'd check it out and see what I could do. When I started it was just a single-line definition. I added a small amount of more info and did some wikification. Then I tried to find some suitable images for examples of graphics. I'm sure there are better ones out there than the ones I've chosen and also a better way to display them. But at least this is a start.

In addition, I have yet to add an image for "map" and "line art." The definition of line art, as I understand it, is "any picture that uses only black and white with no shades of grey." Another good definition I found here is "Line art consists of non-shaded or non-screened black and white images. Line art cannot be continuous tone imagery such as photographs or pencil sketches. Some examples of line art are type matter, solid black and white logos, icons or pen-and-ink drawings." Soooo maybe someone else could help out and provide those images and add more information to this article :) I'll try to do some more but any help would be appreciated! --Nahallac Silverwinds June 28, 2005 21:06 (UTC)

Article Progression

I think we need some information on the history of graphics. For example, what are the earliest known graphics? Cave paintings? Something else? And then perhaps a timeline of the development of graphics with mentions of some of the more notable persons and/or culture's etc who were/are responsible for the development of graphics. Each "type" of graphic also(proably) deserves its own section. Please add your thoughts and suggestions!

As I find websites with pertinent information, I'm going to link them here for reference.
