Just like fiction, fairy tales, legends, biblical lore, and myths, art often spends its time with imaginary beings. This presentation explores the many beings in those worlds and the various ways they have been depicted. Although we are used to thinking of “book illustration” in this connection, that is only one small part of the fine arts and storytelling. It is just as likely one will encounter paintings by Pablo Picasso, William Blake and Francisco Goya, to name a few of the artists.
This presentation is in alphabetical order. Usually this is in the name of the characters as in “Cupid and Psyche” or “King Arthur”. But sometimes it is in the name of the writer. Shakespeare has so many painted characters, for example, that it was less confusing to group them under “Shakespeare.” But the characters are in alphabetical order once you are in the Shakespeare overall heading. This method of classifying was so that one could go back and use this as a reference work after encountering new characters with further reading.
There is a visual based multiple choice test at the end.

Ian Brady made a fatal miscalculation in October 1965 about David Smith. Smith admired Brady but without realizing how “advanced” Brady was into crime. Smith was a lower level criminal. High crimes like murdering children had never crossed his mind.
Brady was trying to lure Smith into the crime. Smith’s police statement said:
~ "When I ran in, I just stood inside the living room and I saw a young lad. He was lying with his head and shoulders on the couch and his legs were on the floor. He was facing upwards. Ian was standing over him, facing him, with his legs on either side of the young lad’s legs. The lad was still screaming … Ian had a hatchet in his hand …”
~ At 6:07 am Smith made an emergency services call to the police. The police had no idea that Brady and Hindley were the killers.

EXCERPT:
Odin Lloyd was murdered in North Attleborough, Massachusetts on June 17, 2013. He sustained 6–10 gunshot wounds. Lloyd was a 27-year-old semiprofessional football player.
Lloyd was dating Shaneah Jenkins, the sister of Hernandez’s fiancée, Shayanna Jenkins, in 2013. So Lloyd and Hernandez were seeing one another socially as a result of dating two sisters. At a Boston nightclub, Rumor, Hernandez saw Lloyd speaking with a group of people who knew Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado. Those two men were killed on July 16, 2012 by gunshots fired into their vehicle in Boston's South End after leaving Cure Nightclub.
A witness testified Hernandez got upset at Lloyd for speaking with these people and stormed out of the club. Surveillance footage in several locations established the following series of events which occurred:
- Odin Lloyd leaving his home and getting into a silver Nissan Altima with Hernandez, Wallace, and Ortiz.
- Lloyd exchanged texts with his sister while telling her he was with Hernandez.
- 3:25 a.m. surveillance camera footage shows the car is driving toward a secluded gravel pit. At 3:29 a.m. the car is shown driving back.
- Later that day Lloyd’s body is discovered in the gravel pit by a jogger.
This listing is a complete powerpoint presentation & lecture about serial killer Ted Bundy. It also contains a 20 point multiple choice quiz with an answer key plus a complete set of flashcards which can be used for review. There are 65 slides in all.
Bundy made his fatal evidentiary mistakes during his killing spree at the Chi Omega sorority house on the campus of Florida State University. He left his bite marks on the buttocks and breast of one of his murder victims, Lisa Levy. There was also an eyewitness who hid in a dark recess and watched him flee from the Chi Omega house.
It turned out that Bundy had bitten Levy twice on the buttocks. For the second bite, he rotated his lower teeth so that there were two impressions of his lower teeth from different angles upon Levy’s body. Two different impressions of the same teeth radically improve the likelihood of a match and they did so in this case.
Forensic odontologist (dentist) Dr. Richard Souviron examined Bundy's teeth and took photographs of his upper and lower teeth. He was able at trial to match Bundy’s teeth to the buttock bite marks. He was even able to superimpose Bundy’s teeth over the bite marks photographically.
There was no way Bundy could get around the evidence of the Chi Omega trial which was impregnable on all of his subsequent appeals. Even Bundy knew it was over by the time he sat for the Leach trial. He could barely contain his rage during that trial at the fate he now knew awaited him. His lawyers had to constantly control his urges to spring from his seat and rant at the court.
Ted Bundy was executed in Florida in the electric chair in 1989. Since he had escaped from prison twice out West while awaiting trial for his crimes, at least his death would remove any possibility of a return to murdering. He had set off for Florida for his last murder spree after his escape from the West.

These are three separate powerpoint presentations on the Blake, Spector and Menendez cases.. Each has its own multiple choice quiz with answer key included. There are 30 Questions Total. All three presentations deal with murders committed by people in the entertainment world in L.A.
The author is a retired lawyer, instructor and textbook author.
The Robert Blake murder trial was of his wife Bonny Bakley, a woman who made a lifelong career out of bilking lonely hearts men. She was about as reprehensible a victim as has ever been seen in the criminal courts. Blake was charged with her murder and used her character as a good part of his defense. He won the case.
This is also a case presenting a great deal of reasonable doubt by the defense. The two key witnesses put forth by the prosecution were former stunt men on "Baretta", Blake's old tv show. However, both of these men in the years since had become very hard core drug addicts. They had frequent hallucinations and were almost incapable of coherent thought by the time they took the witness stand. The prosecution was also never able to link the murder weapon with Blake plus forensic evidence showed someone else had to have actually shot her.
Erik and Lyle were tried for the murders of their parents, Kitty and Jose Menendez. Their father was an entertainment executive and they lived in Beverly Hills. The brothers claimed they were victims of a pedophile, their father. The prosecution claimed they were after their parents' $14.5 million dollar estate. Because Lyle threatened their psychologist, the California Supreme Court allowed into evidence some of their tapes with the psychologist. Ordinarily these are inadmissible as confidential. They were convicted.
Phil Spector was tried for the murder of B actress Lana Clarkson. The judge's decision in both trials was to allow evidence of prior acts by Spector involving women and guns. Female witnesses at both trials described Spector waving guns at them or other women, especially if he’d been drinking a lot.
Prosecutor Truc Do called Spector “a very dangerous man who played Russian roulette with women -- six women. Lana just happened to be the sixth.”
Devra Robitaille, Spector’s former girlfriend and employee, testified that he threatened her when she wanted to leave two separate parties, one in the 1970s and the other in the ‘80s. In the 1986 one, she testified that he was "screaming, ranting and raving: 'You're not going. You're not leaving. I'm not opening the door... I'll blow you away. I'll shoot you.’” He was convicted.

EXCERPT LORENA BOBBITT CASE:
John Wayne Bobbitt, 26, and his Ecuadorian wife, Lorena, 24, were married in 1989. Four years later she said they had financial troubles, he stole and spent her earnings, that John had extramarital affairs and that he abused her both emotionally and physically. On June 23, 1993, John came home to their Manassas, Va., apartment drunk. Lorena claimed he forced her to have sex. She got an eight-inch carving knife in the kitchen, went back to the bedroom and cut off roughly half of his penis. She left him bleeding profusely and took off in the car. While driving she realized she was still holding the penis and threw it out of the window. She did call 911 though to take him to the hospital. He was taken to the hospital and the Virginia police recovered his penis after Lorena told them where to look. Physicians reattached it in a nine and a half hour surgery and incredibly it did work again. There were two trials which followed, his and hers. Both are covered here.

The chief product is the powerpoint presentation on the complete Aileen W case. It is filled with both text and visual imagery.
Topics include, for example:
It was Aileen Wuornos’s killing of at least three strangers in different locations with a cooling-off period between murders that led to her being classed as the first female serial killer. This meant she was the first woman to fit the FBI guidelines on serial killers. There were other female multiple killers but they did not fit these FBI guidelines. The media called Wuornos the first serial killer without making this distinction. It is a huge distinction because you need to fit FBI criteria to receive FBI assistance.
Personally Wuornos had experienced one failed relationship after another. Then she met Tyria Moore at a Daytona gay bar. Although Wuornos was not gay, she discovered that Ty loved her and didn't leave her. That was more important to her. Tyria Moore was content to let Wuornos support her. It was later in their relationship, when they hit rocky points, that she murdered men and especially to get money and material goods for the two of them. Until she met Tyria Moore she did not seem to be murdering anyone. Moore was one of the main witnesses against her at trial ultimately and would never look at Wuornos.
Florida has a law known as the Williams Rule. This rule made the jury aware of all of the murders. The self-defense claim sounded ridiculous when all the murders came into evidence. Excerpts from her videotaped confession were played and she appeared not upset which was damaging. Wuornos's public defender did not want her to testify. But Wuornos insisted on telling her story. Her account had changed further, glorifying herself in the process. Her credibility was destroyed on cross examination plus she was angry for most of it. She was the defense's only witness. The jury found Wuornos guilty of first-degree murder, and as they left, she shouted, "I'm innocent! I was raped! I hope you get raped! Scumbags of America!"
Aileen Wuornos was executed by lethal injection Oct. 9, 2002, The execution took place at Florida State Prison near Starke, Florida.

This is a powerpoint presentation about Arts and Crafts Movement, led by William Morris in London, England, and his followers, in the UK, America, and later Japan. To best assess this presentation, study the actual slides on exhibit on this page.
TEXT EXCERPT:
Any discussion of the Arts & Crafts movement must always begin with William Morris. It would never have taken place without him.
Morris went to Oxford with Edward Burne-Jones. They both intended on becoming ministers. However, they met Gabriel Dante Rossetti and the rest of the Pre-Raphaelite artists. They were so bowled over that they changed their life path so as to both became artists.
The two men remained life long friends and sometime collaborators. Burne-Jones became a leading painter while Morris single handedly led the Arts & Crafts movement in England.
Morris gave up painting so that he could pursue design. He could design just about anything. His myriad textile designs, his furniture and stained glass windows are well known.
Morris believed that industrialization was an alienating and dehumanizing process. His goal was to unite the arts for the decoration of the home with simple forms echoing nature. This was to reverse alienation and dehumanization.
His Arts and Crafts movement did not promote a particular style. He stuck with his overall goal: as machines replaced workers, the Arts and Crafts movement advanced the handmade and the designer as craftsman.
The movement spread to America but remained linked to the British movement and Morris.
Like most movements, this one waned over time, especially as the cities and use of technology rose. Handmade Arts and Crafts movements are frequently revived throughout time because of the societal need to counter alienation and dehumanization of people.
One realization Morris did not achieve was making art for the common man per his socialist ideals. However, he achieved the overall goal of its trickling down to the middle class person.
Morris was like a fashion designer who creates the couture line. Couture is very expensive and has the best materials and hand work. But it trickles down to the middle by others who use it to make their own variations of it to sell in the market place.
Today many of us live like Morris wanted us to live. We have made our homes comfortable havens and we are dressed comfortably within them, enjoying them. Around us at least in part are objects that we’ve bought in art galleries, art fairs, craft shows and the like. Or we’ve even made those objects ourselves.
This is a complete presentation on Gustav Klimt - Symbolism Art History Art Nouveau Vienna. THERE ARE MANY ACTUAL SLIDES FOR YOUR REVIEW IN THE PREVIEW. THIS IS YOUR BEST INDICATION OF PRODUCT QUALITY.
EXCERPT
Gustav Klimt was an Austrian Symbolist painter, best known for his paintings of women. He is considered an early sensual and erotic artist. His art was controversial in his own time. He preferred dominant women in his paintings.
He was deliberate and painstaking in his work and required lengthy sittings by his subjects.
His theme was the primal forces of sexuality, regeneration, love, and death. His sexuality was not explicit. He used swirling designs, spirals, and phallic shapes. These appealed to Symbolist and Art Nouveau influences which were popular in his day. He liked working with actual gold as a material and color, perhaps because his father’s profession was as a gold engraver.
He was educated in art at the Vienna University of Arts and Crafts in 1876. But it was changing family circumstances which had the biggest impact on his art style. Both his father and a brother died in 1892. He had to provide for both of their families. His art changed in response to this new challenge.
He rebelled against traditional art and founded the Vienna Secession to champion the new and unconventional, including a magazine to showcase members’ art.
Klimt was influenced by a variety of factors. For one, he took trips to Venice and Ravenna where he loved the Byzantine imagery he saw. He incorporated Byzantine designs into his work, especially into the textiles within his paintings.
Japanese art and its methods also became an influence. Then he pursued his interest in gold by including gold leaf in his paintings.
Klimt also painted landscapes. At first that might seem odd for an artist so consumed by portraying women on canvas. However, his landscapes show his interest in textile patterning which he also used in his paintings of women.
He painted many of these when he was on vacation in the country. The rural locals noted his intensity while painting his landscapes and nicknamed him Forest Demon.
Oscar Pistorius: The handicapped sports superstar killed his model girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp while she was in his master suite bathroom because he thought an intruder was in there instead.

The author is a retired lawyer, instructor and textbook author.
EXCERPT OSCAR PISTORIUS CASE:
A forensic investigation ensued to test his story. There was an enormous amount of blood in and around the toilet. The prosecution’s argument was that Steenkamp fled to the toilet to get away from Pistorius since she locked the door behind her. That’s why he had to use the cricket bat to break it down. The prosecution argued: Although many people close the door when they use the toilet, how many people actually lock it when the only other person there is one's romantic partner?
Why was this alleged intruder in the bathroom? An intruder would want to do one of two things, attack the occupants and/or steal their valuables. Why would an intruder walk into the bathroom to effectuate either of these goals? This intruder would also have had to gain entrance to the second floor bathroom and there were no signs of forced entry. Wouldn't a a reasonable person quickly check for forced entry before firing multiple times? This is the uphill task defense counsel would have before an American judge and jury with this defense. However, in South Africa it is taken seriously as an alternative possibility. Of course, judges are used instead of juries there. Juries are supposed to provide the common sense.
