History Powerpoint Slides

Yes, a grand total of 15 powerpoint slides. This is going to be one heck of a flipping through peeps.

History Powerpoint Folder (no. 1-15, excluding 14)

Because no. 14, Surrealism is a huge file of 200+mb and Mediafire only supports 100mb file at best, therefore it's been reuploaded at another download site instead.

014. Surrealism Megaupload | Zshare

Guys, remember to buy Evelyn a cuppa or something for the slides. If you are not able to download these slides, please do drop a note at the tagboard.

Cheers!

Here's the powerpoint slide of the day. And the artist that she has mentioned today is JMW Turner, the guy who painted with his fingers (saving money much?).

1. Impressionism
   

Right, you guys have heard that she'll be giving out the essay topics next week. So do remember to turn up for class y'all.

Regarding about the Baroque and Rococo slides, I'm afraid that I didn't manage to get them. But Dr Sian should bring them next week for me to grab (hopefully).

If there's anything that you wish to clarify/comment on, please head on with the normal procedure with the chatbox. Cheers. 

Caravaggio

Found this on Youtube. I think the whole series is there, including Bernini's (the brother of banana) I didn't say that, I think Rina did. Anyway, enjoy.

P.P.S. The lesson next week has been rescheduled to Friday (23rd Jan), 9am-12pm. Note that it's only for this particular lesson. Lesson times will be reverted back to the usual.

History of Visual Art II

Here are the powerpoint slides for this lesson.

1. Early Italian Renaissance

2. 15th Century Italian Art

Both are uploaded to Mediafire. If anyone can't access to the download, please drop a comment and I'll upload to another server ASAP.

P.S. The artist that Dr Sian had shown earlier during class is Caravaggio. If you thought you heard Michelangelo, you didn't hear it wrongly. It's his first name after all, just that he's not the one who sculpted David.

The drill is as usual; drop a comment if there's any missing details or enquiries. Cheers.
