You may want to peruse art books to find an artist, or you may want to choose one of the artists whose works you have
seen in this lesson and look him or her up on the Internet. When you use information from books or websites, be sure to
cite the sources you use in MLA style.
If you are not familiar with MLA, there are many resources available on the Internet that explain how to use the style. Here
