Instructions

  • Step 1 – Form groups of two or three students.
  • Step 2 – Introduce yourself and exchange contact information with your group members.
  • Step 3 – Choose a topic and a date for your presentation and sign up. Please write your full names as they appear on the class roster.
  • Step 4 - Research the artist and the work/s - you sould focus especially on the ways in which they demonstrate the specific art movement or issue they represent. If you find materials online, choose only reliable sources. 
  • Step 5 - Prepare your presentation. Your goal in this presentation is to teach the material to the class.
  • The length of your presentation should be 6-8 minutes for group of two and 7-10 minutes for groups of three.
  • You may show maximum six slides (not including the first and last slides). Each student will present two to three slides.
  • Your slides should not have a lot of text; however, you must include the artist name, title of art work/s and date next to each artwork you present. Font of titles shouldn't exceed 20 pt.
  • Your PowerPoint presentation should include the specific art works that are shown on the class presentations plus any other slide you think is relevant to your topic. In your oral presentation you should mainly focus on the art works that are on the class PowerPoint.
  • The first slide should include the name of the artist and art period/issue that you are covering and the names of the group members. Include the list of your sources on the last slide.
  • If your material is controversial and/or offensive to some (sexually explicit, violence, etc.) please discuss it with me before you show it to the class. 
  • Step 6 - Share your presentation with me on Google Docs on the day before your presentation by midnight.
  • Step 7 - Printout the Peer Evaluation Form, fill it up and submit on the day of your presentation. 
  • The grade for the presentation is individual, however, the Peer Evaluation Form can affect the final grade for each student.
  •  After the presentation, other students might ask questions, so you need to be well prepared and knowledgeable about your topic.

 Please do not read from your notes!!!
