Answer:
D. All of the above.
Step-by-step explanation:
If we go straight to Egyptians, we could see how the scribes were the ones well-respected by the society, since the pharaoh recognized them as take carers of culture by drawing the day by day life in those lands by the Nile.
Even if we go even further in the past, Sumerians dug on clay tablets numbers, this was accompanied by drawings relating their lives and hunts. Stories were told that way, since language wasn't even invented, and some of them were unknown to one community to another.
French, English and Spanish expeditions to both Africa and America used the art of drawing to communicate and show the new nature wonders. From 1492 to 1700s neither photography nor film were invented, so these countries used this art of sketching to talk about the Rosetta stone, the wonders of the Ancient Egypt and the exuberant plants from Southamerica.
