Slideshow

I have been working on a power point showing the different types of Picasso art in a time sequence so that the viewer can see the changes in his style. His art goes through many different stages and it is easier to see through a slide show.

Bipolar Symptoms

Life of Picasso

I've been researching Picasso's life to get background information on his childhood and the different experiences that he has gone through to become a successful artist.

Bipolar Disorder

Today I researched specific information on bipolar disorder. I looked up the history behind the disorder to see how the time period that Picasso lived in and the time period that the disorder came up collide. I know Wikipedia isn't really a good source of information but it had some interesting things. These are a couple articles on the disorder and other information that apply:

• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_bipolar_disorder
