Work of Art
The way in which you cite an image or work of visual art depends on where you found it.
- If you are referencing a work of art in a museum, you need to include the artist's name, the date it was created, and the museum and city that it is located in.
- If you are referencing a reproduction of a work of art that you accessed online, you will also need the date of access and a URL address.
