While browsing this resource I thought learning how to create my own template would be the most helpful. It was difficult for me to follow step by step since the resource was referring to powerpoint version 2008 and mine is a little older, but it guided me through some options I didn't know existed. I normally like to fumble around with something new, make my own mistakes and discover new information. Having this site to refer to helped me do that as well as pushing me further than I would've ventured without it.

The advantage of being able to extensively alter the template is to present something that is truly visually cohesive. Taking this into consideration when presenting an art class with a new artist or other art idea demonstrates how versatile the design elements are. It is also important for a teacher to display this technique, showing their own understanding of art. As an art teacher I hope to reassure my students that I have knowledge that is worthwhile to them.

I choose to design a template that reflects my interpretation of the artist, Tara Donovan, and what she hopes to achieve with her work. The choices I made will hopefully reflect a modern interpretation of natural objects.
