1. What was effective about the presentation?

I think that this presentation showed us how amazing art can be and also the different ways art can be represented. Behind a creation of art, there is always a message behind it.

2. What multimedia was used?

The multimedia that was used in this presentation was text and graphics. The text explained what the graphics were and also described the person who made the art.

3. What did you want to know more about?

I wanted to know more about how the artist personally thought of their own art. For example, their inspirations and also which one of them they liked the best.

4. What emotions did the images evoke.

I think the images shows us that art can be represented in any way. There is no right and wrong in art, everything that a person creates with their own imagination can be art.

5. How could you use multimedia slides shows in any class?

You can use multimedia slide shows in other classes to represent information or also you can present using multi-media slideshows.

I thought that this slide-show was effective because it showed us how simple little things can be really thought provoking and remembered. The multi-media that was used in this slideshow were graphics and text. The graphics were the main multi-media in this slideshow and the text helped describe the photos. I wanted to know more about how the photos are expressed and what inspired the photographer to take the photos. The photos capture special moments of different occasions and make the photos memorable. You can also use multi-media slideshows in other classes to show a report by inserting graphics and text to explain the topic that you are researching about. Overall, I think that multi-media slide shows are a useful way to represent information and to help explain other people about various topics.
