For my first Independent Learning Project, I designed a lecture Prezi on the Avant-Garde movements of the early 20th century. I have always likes Prezi presentations in class because they are typically more artistic and engaging, but I have never taken the time to learn the Prezi software to create one. This project helped me familiarize myself with the tool itself and feel comfortable using it for future presentations. My topic is directly related to my research interests for English Literature, but for my presentation I focused on the study of visual art instead of literature from the beginning of the 1900s until 1945. These movements, collected to make up the Avant-Garde, are extremely political and have a lot of energy behind them which is what I particularly like. In my presentation, I go through each movement and outline the basic principles of each one. Most people think of Modern Art as meaningless or impossible to interpret. I hope through my presentation you can find that Modern Art is valuable because the meaning lies in the artist's intent rather than the actual piece of art you are observing.
