Art Nouveau

Nandi, Lindsay and Fatima present their research on Art Nouveau 


Highly competent presentation!

  • Widely and thoroughly researched

  • Excellent visual images, which could better used. Keep the images moving and refer to them, rather than reading off a slide of text 
  • What was going on socio/politically?
