Introduction for 20+ Major Art Movements... Enjoy!
✶ Reflection ✶
While working with TimelineJS, I learned more about the topic I was researching on rather than how to use the program itself. I chose a topic that had a lot of 'blocks' to create and write about, so most of the time I spent was researching and writing about the art movement, then finding a good painting that represents this period of time well. After that, it was just figuring out how to put them into the spreadsheet (most of the pictures I found couldn't be embedded into the timeline, so I had to go onto flickr and find alternatives..). There's really limited creativity with this application as far as I've experimented with, but I will definitely use this tool to make my presentation more engaging.
Update: After two weeks, I went back to work on the timeline to fix some information, and also tried to add in my own photo from Google Drive (Shown on the title page). I think it works, but I don't like the fact that it shows the black borders and allow us to open the photo on another tab. It's not very visible now since I fixed the background color, but that's something to consider when we add our own photos.
