PowerPoint Presentation "Personal Sketch"

 

Create a “PowerPoint” presentation about yourself.  Be sure to include the necessary components in your project.  Use original imagery in all but number 5.  You must scan at least one original photo or other image for this assignment.  Use the digital camera at least once for this presentation. 

 

1.       A page about your family. 

2.       A page about your favorite place.

3.       A page about your favorite activity. 

4.       A page that makes reference to the best art work you have ever done with a computer.  This should show your skills.  Display the artwork right on the screen.  If you have never done art with a computer, then include an example of your work in any medium.

5.       A page that makes reference to the best programs that you have used to create art on the computer.  If you have program at home that we do not have here at school, then copy a screen of that program and show us what it looks like.

6.       A page that makes reference to your future career of choice.
