ENGL235, here's the powerpoint of art from Wednesday

Or not, since I can't upload a PowerPoint presentation [nor Impress presentation (that's the OpenOffice version, for those of you wondering) nor PDF file].

Sigh.

Here's the individual images - click each for a larger version. My apologies for such a long entry... One of these days I'll figure out Flickr or somesuch service... Extra credit (seriously... 1% on final grade) for those who can track down title/artist for each of the non-snapshot works (that means everything but the Xipe Totec image, the shot of Buckingham Fountain, the totally white image, the portrait of Neil Armstrong, the lolcat, the Kyle Field shot, and the elephants holding trunks)
