Art and Art History

Use these tips to find articles and information about art or art history:

• Try searching a different database or journal. Each one contains different articles.
• Search for the artist's name or the title of one of their works.
• Try searching any of these with an artist's name or title of a piece:
  • Time period 
  • The artist's other works
  • Artistic elements or techniques, i.e. painting, mixed media, etc.
  • Themes in the work you're researching

The library's book collection is a great source of art-related information. Many books also contain images of art pieces, as well as information about the artist, technique, etc. The library has many ebooks, as well as print books.
