Class Power Point Presentation:
Throughout the centuries, epic stories, themes, and persons were portrayed in visual and material forms across India and Southeast Asia. Such visual forms included paintings on paper and on stone-walls, sculpture on temple walls and palaces, and finally statues of different styles prominently placed in secular and sacred spaces. Into the modern period, such visual forms have been preserved in temples, museums, palaces, archives, museums, and private collections in India and the world. The finest of such visual forms are now available to view on the worldwide web.
Please identify images of visual and material representations of classical epic narratives and create a power point presentation. Search the internet for high quality images of stories, persons, characters, events, and themes drawn from the classical texts you read this semester. Our texts include Mahabharata, Ramayana, Sakuntala and the Buddhist and Hindu stories.
Here are some guidelines to follow:
1. Your images must be from before 1850 A. D.
2. Your images should belong to the same art form (manuscript illustration, sculpture, wall painting, temple statues etc)
3. Your images should be accompanied by approximate place and date of production.
4. Please describe the genre (painting, sculpture, statuary, etc) and style of the visual form. A genre can also be of a place or period.
5. Include a minimum of 5 images and no more than 10 images in your presentation.
6. Each slide may include two images at most.
7. Each power point slide must contain a title and descriptive information (name, theme, place, date, genre etc.)
8. Images chosen must be of a high quality (poor quality images do not project well). Museums have high quality images as to libraries.
9. If possible, provide information on where the visual form is being held or displayed.
10. Do not mix images, places, periods, genres in your presentation. To the extent possible, draw all of your images from a single source (place, period, style, genre, temple, etc) from the past. A given museum might have images from many different places and periods; therefore, be extra careful not to include images from disparate locations, periods, and genres.
