Looking Into Artists and their Works
Created by K Crossley and L Wong, 4/30/08
You will be researching an artist, learning about their life and their work. Remember that as in all research, you must cite websites you use, as well as images you choose to include in your PowerPoint. Use NoodleTools, and look for citing hints in pink. Please choose "MLA Advanced" when you create your list. You will create your bibliography in NoodleTools, and start out like you are going to print it, and when it is print-ready, copy the list and paste it onto your last PowerPoint slide. You can call that slide “Works Cited”.
Websites - Cite any websites you use as “websites.”
