PowerPoint Presentation on Japanese Screens

PowerPoint Presentation on Japanese Screens

• I have used this presentation in a third grade
  class to introduce the elements of design
  rhythm, repetition and emphasis. We were also
  discussing art representing the Japanese culture.
• The examples of authentic Japanese screens
  continuously scroll during work time.
• This allows students to view numerous examples
  that they wouldnt otherwise have the opportunity
  to see.
