Art Nouveau / Art Deco Comparison

(1)
Powerpoint presentation comparing the styles and inspirations of both Art Nouveau and Art Deco movements. This presentation includes many significant images, and bitesize information about the two movements, as well as a segment designed as a quiz for pupils to identify which movement the image is from. I have executed this in class with the letters 'D' and 'N' on either side of a laminated sheet of white paper which pupils hold up depending on their choice. This allows me to identify at a glance if pupils have understood the various styles, and pupils have always provided great feedback about this element.
