Assigned Topics for Power Point, Lesson #3

You will create a power point presentation using representative examples of at least three artists (give at least three examples of each artists work) who are considered prime examples of that group or style or if given an individual artist you should illustrate with at least six representative works.  If given a specific work of art you must show more than one view.  Also, for all of the above, show at least two similar or dissimilar works from that same period, style, or location to compare and contrast for a better sense of context .  Explain the ideas behind the work.  Details, maps, and other visual information will help give the class a more fulfilling experience.  There must be a detailed bibliography at the end and individual references must be listed on the page where the information was cited.  Cite at least two references beyond the Text book. One reference may be Wikipedia. If an internet reference was used have an active link on the page where the image or information is used.  I will randomly check.
