Student Presentation Guidelines

GUIDELINES

Each week the class will be assigned to read an interview or article about an artist from the list below. In addition, one student will become and expert on the artist of the week, and give a 15 minute presentation about the artist's work to the class. The presentation should consist of a short biography, an in-depth discussion of the artist's work including the artist's peers and influences, and discussion of at least three key artworks by the artist. You must present at least ten images, and your research must be original (not copied from Wikipedia, etc.) Presentations will begin the third week of class.  Bring your images on a USB stick as JPEGS in numerical order.

You will be required to hand in a printed Works Cited sheet. Cite every book, article, video, etc. that contributed to your research. Here are the MLA standards for Works Cited.
