Art Resources Online

The Library has tons of art resources available online through its databases. The Oxford Art Online database, for example, is a premiere source of art images and information.

If you're doing work on an artist (Kara Walker, for example), an artistic movement (the Arts and Crafts Movement, for example), art practices in a particular geographic region (African masks, for example), or on particular kinds of art (sculpture, say), you should be sure to search this easy-to-use database for outstanding content.

Here are a few of it's features:

• Browse or search for artist biographies
• Browse or search for particular art topics
• Browse or search for specific images

If you select Tools & Resources, and then click on Grove Art, you will have an option to browse:

• Thematic Guides, which include scholarly biographical and topical essays with bibliographies 

• Timelines by Region, which include summaries of important events, articles, and images

• Resources for Educators with dozens of lesson ideas covering modern art chronologically and thematically
