ART-89, Artist Research Assignment: Find Books & Videos

Books and ebooks are a good source for background and history on a topic: the who, what, where when and why. They are geared for non-experts, so they're a great place to start the research process. 

Having trouble finding resources on your chosen artwork or artist? Try the following:

• Search for other works done by the artist. 
• Search for information on the movement(s) or categories under which work/artist classified.
• Search for similar works and artists from the same movement(s)/categories.
• Look for background on the issues, concerns and beliefs of the contemporary era to which the artist/artwork connected..
