This sample has had most of the info removed but the students used

PhotoShop and PowerPoint animation to create a visually stunning way of pointing

out detail.

La Primavera

La Primavera

Different from other renaissance paintings No real depth of field More points followed Note how they faded out the picture to make the

text more readable

La Primavera

Also known as “The Allegory of Spring” In the next slide, they begin to talk about the

specific characters in the work. Watch how they visually grab your attention

They used PhotoShop to create the graphics Then they used the “hyperlink” function under

PowerPoint>Insert>Hyperlink They also hid the slides that they hyperlink to. That

keeps them from coming back up later Also note the back button that takes you to the next

slide.

Zephyr

Nymph

Flora

Venus

Cupid

The Three Graces

Mercury

La Primavera

These pictures are a bit pixellated. They probably zoomed in on the original image you saw and used the crop tool in PowerPoint

The relationships! Beginning on the right…

On the right side of the painting, we have Zephyr, Chloris, and Flora.

They tell the story of Zephyr and Chloris here

These relationship slides continued, telling each story in detail and examining the symbolic and cultural meaning of each.

This was a stunning presentation.
