4. Visual Images: For this, you’re asked to begin with ArtStor, a database of visual images from museum art collections all over the world. After ArtStor, check Wikimedia Commons and Google Images. When you use the web, you have to be able to credit the artist or photographer. Find the coolest images to share with the class: paintings, photography, modern art inspired by the work, etc. Please have at least one cited image on every slide, cited right on the slide, and on the corresponding Works Cited page.
