Writing a formal research paper requires finding appropriate scholarly articles, peer-reviewed journal articles and books. Sources such as blogs, newspaper articles, unauthorized websites, random papers uploaded to the internet, random YouTube videos, Wikipedia and encyclopedias (including Oxford Art Online) are not appropriate resources to cite in formal research papers.

Your research materials should largely be procured from Davidson Library, and you will note that Chizu Morihara, our Art & Architecture Librarian, has created a special page for Art 1A Visual Literacy.
