If you are printing handouts, three slides per page is often the best choice;
slides are printed large enough to be easily read, and there is space on
one side of the page for your audience to take notes.

To print a range of slides, type the beginning number, a hyphen, and the
ending number (e.g., to print pages seven through twelve, type 7-12).
To print non-consecutive slides, type their numbers separated by commas
(e.g., to print pages seven and twelve, type 7, 12).

ince the late 1960’s visual artists in museums and galleries have used slide shows
as a device, either for presenting specific information about an action or research
Sor as a phenomenological form in itself. According to the introduction of
[Slide show] — an exhibition organized at the Baltimore Museum of Art- “Through the
simple technology of the slide projector and 35 mm color transparency, artists
discovered a tool that enabled the transformation of space through the magnification of
projected pictures, texts, and images”. Although some have not necessarily used 35 mm
or color slides, and some have even exchanged images for texts (Robert Barry) the color
slides are the most commonly used and they could be sometimes accompanied with
written text, either on the slides or as an infertile. Some artists have also used a voice-
over on the slide presentation (James Coleman, Robert Smithson). Slideshows have since
also used by artist that use other mediums as painting and sculpture to present their work
publicly. During the last few years there is a growing usage of the concept by a younger
generation of artists. Non-profit organization Slide luck Potshot holds slideshow events
globally featuring works by amateur and professional artists, photographers, and galleries.
Participants in the event bring food, potluck-style, to have a social dinner before the slide
show begins.
