I use variety of methods of research from Google, Google scholar to museums online resources.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art website is excellent. I particularly like the timeline it’s valuable to look at the era and what is going on around the specific art movements to look at the historical context. The Metropolitan Museum of Art also has very informative thematic essays .
I have found using the university library and also my local library website as an excellent resource especially if you to get access to Oxford English Dictionary, Oxford Reference Online, Oxford Dictionary Of National Biography, Grove Music Online or Grove Art Online from Home or Work you need to please place CAR before your Library card number when you login to these sites.
MOMA is a superb website and online gallery I have used this alot it’s such a valuable resource.
Closer to home The Freud Museum has an excellent archive is always nice to look at what’s going on.
Finally The Tate this website and student resources are always worth a look.
Loads of great links that will help me! Nice work
