uhm, i need to parallel the history of art with the development of technology. does anyone know sites that can help me with this? i need answers for when people started making art, what they used as painting materials, when they first used canvass, how technology affects art and so on?and also, i need to know if digital art is really a form of art, so that i could include it in my paper.
 
Wow, is that what you were assigned or is that what you decided to tackle? What you're asking for is a very very broad topic. It's essentially the entire history of art and how it is created.

People have been making art since prehistoric times until the present.

What type of class are you doing this for? I'm trying to help you think of a way to focus your topic so you can address something in a reasonable scope. Also, how long a paper are you supposed to prepare? And, in what time frame?

Here are some resources that might help you focus a bit - or at least touch on what you want to in a very high level way:

Visual arts:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_arts
Art timeline & period-based thematic essays (the Met):
http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/
Photography timeline:
http://inventors.about.com/od/pstartinventions/a/Photography.htm

Don't forget 'outsider art' if you have to cover the entire span of art history.

Digital media and the ways in which they are employed can certainly be considered art (fine/visual or performing arts - music, theatre, avant garde theatre). Which arts with the word "digital" in them can you think of? You must own at least two or more digital devices & software that can be used to create still or moving art...talk about them in your paper.
