There are also many museums near you that have outstanding collections. It might be interesting and fun to research a paper and then take a small trip to see it in person sometime. It’s like meeting a celebrity!
You can also start with the name of an artist that you appreciated, conduct an internet search, and resources will be available.
Please consider the following:
Of course you may do an internet search for any of your artists/architects, do keep them scholarly.
DO NOT USE WIKIPEDIA as a reference.
You may use Museum websites or other scholarly sources.
Images are interesting but shouldn’t take the place of written content. Cite all references.
Do not use voice on this PPT or Notes. It is often unreliable for this type of presentation.
