Presentation Guidelines

For the presentation, make a powerpoint with at least five slides, with at least one image per slide (not more than two per slide).  Give a brief bio of your artist, then talk about why you chose to study that person and her work.  What was visually interesting to you?  Does her bio indicate any issues in her career that were related to gender? The goal is to organize your thoughts about the artist and teach the class about her.
It should be at least 5 minutes and not more than 10.
Email with any further questions.

Those of you who were there last week know your date assignment, either this week or next.  If you were not in class last week, email me to find out your date!
