Art of the 1950s and 1960s

Choose one of the following themes for a presentation on your Week 4 content:

• Changing Times: Proto-Pop and The Beats (must include either Robert Rauschenberg or Jasper Johns)
• Andy Warhol and Pop Art (focus on Warhol OR Warhol and other Pop artists)
• Protest Art (You may choose to focus on Civil Rights, the Vietnam War, or both)

Create a 10- to 12-sllde presentation (including a title and reference slide) on your selected theme that includes the following:

• 100- to 250-word speaker notes for each of your content slides that
  summarize the main points listed on the slide (you will have a minimum
  of 8 to 10 content slides which excludes the title and reference
  slides).
• A description and analysis of four to six artworks related to your selected theme (include an image of each artwork).
• A description of the subject of each artwork; what was the subject depicted by the artist?
• An examination of how this type of art developed; why did artists
  choose these subjects? To what social or cultural events were artists
  responding?
• A description of the materials, media, or techniques used by the
  artists; why did the artist use these materials or techniques? What is
  the overall effect of the artwork?

Format your presentation using the guidelines below:

• Notes should be in the ‘notes’ section, not on the slide,
  and should be written as if you were speaking to a live audience. Be
  sure and proofread aloud to catch errors that are often missed when
  proofreading silently.
• Bullet points on the slide should be the primary points of your notes. Use the ‘6 by 6’ rule for slides – no more than six bullet points per slide, and no more than six words per bullet point.
• Include citations at the bottom of the slide indicating the sources of your information.
• Avoid using direct quotes in your notes – paraphrase instead;
  however, if you must use a direct quote, be sure and put quotation marks
  around the quote, and add the page or paragraph number in your
  citation.
• Use good, clear images on your slides for the examples,
  provide the exact source of the image below it (on the slide, not in the
  notes), using a smaller font than that used with your bullet point
• Don’t bother using animation on your presentations – it is not necessary.
• Be sure and have a reference slide as your final slide, listing all
  of the sources cited in your notes AND the sources of the images used in
  proper APA format.
