Don't end your research here! Reference sources are too general to be used on their own. But, they are perfect for getting basic information and ideas for in-depth research.
When using a reference source, look for key terms, clues and leads such as:
Write down these terms as you find them. You can keep a running list as you continue your research.
Be aware a person, place or idea may have more than one name! Remain alert for synonyms and alternative words.
Re-use these terms as keywords when searching the library catalog and databases.
The attached brainstorming worksheet may give you some ideas.
Search by artist or browse by medium to find inspiration and high-quality images of art from around the world.
Tip: To browse, mouse over "Artworks" and click "All Artworks". Then, select filters from the left side bar to view specific artists media, nationality, time period, color, etc.
