For some of the users who responded, this is called Ascii Art. It goes back to the early DOS days (Unix too, but I'll focus on DOS). In those days, every DOS screen was a precise 80 characters by 25 lines (later on the first graphics capable displays started to emerge in the form of CGA). Ascii Art remained popular until way after Windows 3.1 as the more technical users preferred working from the command line. It represented a very clever way of doing art work with the tools available at the time (text displays).
Because the screen sizes (80x25) were all the same, this helped to create a standard drawing board. Initially, everything was green (or white) text on black. Later on, ANSI was introduced. This allowed using up to 16 colors (if I remember correctly). It also allowed some animation. On Unix system a popular terminal emulator (vt102 ?) was used in the same way ANSI was used to create text animations. I worked with drivers (ansi and vt102) and would send text files to users. They would issue a command like "type filename.txt" and an Ascii Animation would run. It was alot of fun and really surprised the recipients with "how in the world did you get text to animate?"
I'm always happy to see users become interested in this art form because it's a sign that the user probably is interested in the many technical areas of a computer, ie.. making it do things in different ways, getting to know the command line, getting under the hood. The GUI interface often protects and hide users from the inner workings of a machine, giving the Operating System developer more control instead of impowering the user (but I digress, topic for another question...).
Alot of the older methods are lost, including Ascii Art, in the newer generations of users because of our shift into a GUI environment. The GUI environment, for example, messes up the spacing needed, unless you change your font.
There is alot of history here, especially if we start talking about ANSI Art and later RIP Graphics (it's programmability, it's use on Bulletin Board Systems, the ability to open a text file and create art plus commands, etc..). In some ways we've taken a step back:-(
There were and still are many Ascii Drawing programs (as well as Ansi drawing programs) that were written for DOS. Today alot of people use converters (image to text/ascii). Below are two such programs:

don’t know what it’s called, but you used to be able to find booths at carnivals and country fairs where they would take your picture, using a camera and a special computer program, then translate the image into shades of gray represented by different letters and punctuation, and then print it on a T shirt. Did you do this using a camera and program, or did you do it by hand? It’s more impressive if you did it by hand. Also, would you please include in your additional details, what is the name for this type of art?

That is called ASCII art. I think it's really hard if you try to make one by yourself, unless you copy and paste it from a web -.-
Well, I can't make any myself.

Well im pretty sure there's a website where it has all those different kinds and you can copy and paste but I don't think anyone would waste their time doing something like that!
