Art History Resources

Here are some links for when you are done with your paper. If you would like to explore these and find information on or work by the artist of your choosing and add that information to your paper, please feel free to do so, as long as the paper still fits the requirements (see below the links). Feel free to start gathering images or inspiration for your presentations. If you just want to have a look around in one of these links at something that isn't connected to your paper, feel free to do so as long as your paper is complete. Make sure that you have proofread (checked for grammatical, spelling, or content errors) and that you have shown Kali or Ms. P. your completed paper and discussed it with them.
