OUTLINE FOR ARTIST REPORT POWERPOINT SLIDESHOW
Your presentation should be thorough and the majority of the slides should have very little to no notes/words on the slides. You need to be able to explain the work without relying on reading off of the slideshow.
Your presentation should contain photographs with high quality images (not pixelated). Your presentation should have 20 images of the artist’s work. If this is an issue, please see me prior to the day that you give your presentation.
