1. Individual Presentation – 8%, 80 points
Each of you will design a PowerPoint Presentation with a voice over. The presentation should
last 10 minutes, so the cumulative time of your voice-over portion should be 10 minutes.
The presentation is to be submitted to the Blackboard a day before the presentation becomes
available for the students to review. See the syllabus/schedule for the assigned topics and
submission deadline.
Instructions for recording a voice-over:
1. Create a PPT slide.
2. Click INSERT.
3. Select AUDIO from the drop-down menu
4. Select Record.
Format, length, and content. Your presentation should last 10 minutes. It should be
accompanied by a PowerPoint with the VOICE OVER.
The first page of your PowerPoint Presentation should have your name and your topic. In the end
of your presentation you should summarize all the information on the Summary page. You also
have to include a bibliography page. Note that you cannot just copy and paste the information
from the sources without putting it in quotation marks. In other words, the text on your PPT
should be your own. If you are using somebody else’s text, you have to cite it.
Your PPT should be submitted via BlackBoard a day before your presentation (see the schedule).
In the body of your presentation, you should discuss:
◼ brief biographical sketch of the artist (if known)
◼ formal qualities and stylistic characteristics of selected artwork,
◼ the circumstances of its creation,
◼ its function,
◼ medium/material,
◼ narrative content, and
◼ its historical/cultural significance.
Please, consult outside sources to prepare a successful presentation, just make sure to cite your
sources.
Your PowerPoint presentation will be graded by your classmates who are required to fill a peer
review form for each presentation.
Comments: Write comments relevant to this particular presentation addressing BOTH its
strengths and weaknesses, and suggestion for improvement.
2
Discussion Questions. Each presentation should end with 2 detailed discussion questions about
the image. The questions should not be factual, in other words, these questions should spark a
discussion rather than prompt your peers to reiterate the facts.
For example:
Artwork: Venus of Willendorf
Factual question: Under what circumstances was this work discovered and where it is located
now?
Discussion question: Due to the lack of written records, the scholars cannot determine the precise
function and meaning of this work. However, they have advanced multiple theories. For
example, it was argued that this work was a fertility idol (due to exaggerated body parts that are
related to reproductive function); dolls (small scale), first self-portraits (particular angle as if the
artist is looking down at her own body), or even prehistoric version of pin-up girls (taken by the
male members of the tribe during the long hunting trips). Which of these theories do you find
more plausible? Please, explain your position.
Discussion questions should be answerable, that means they should be based on the information
from your presentation and should not require any additional research on the part of the students
who are responding to your questions.
For example: Michael S. Bisson criticized the theory by Catherine McCoid and LeRoy
McDermott that this type of prehistoric figurine was created as self-portraits. Do you agree with
him? Explain your position.
Unless you have explained in your presentation Bisson’s critique, the students cannot really
answer this question without consulting outside sources, which is not the point of this particular
assignment.
