Creating Your Own Project
We will begin by creating a new presentation in PowerPoint and choosing a design layout for our slides. We are going to create some information slides about French Impressionism and about each of the great Impressionists: Monet, Manet, and Renoir. We’ll be adding text, images, and slide animations to our slides. To find appropriate images, we’ll search the Microsoft Online Image Gallery and also use some images provided in the downloadable resource packet. Then, we’ll set up our slide show and view our presentation!
