This is something I have learned a large number of things about through Internal Assessments, Coursework and also within Art.
This will be useful for GCSE, AS, A-Level, IB and equivalent courses
Within artwork in the classroom, sketchbook or even the art that I feature within a post, everything has to have an original source. For example;- A copy of an artists painting (with or without personal alterations); source the original piece that you have worked from.
- A completely original piece; this depends on whether you have used any sources to help you come up with the idea. This includes images, videos and even text, which must be sources. An original idea and piece with no inspirations will not have to be sourced.
- A copy of personal photos; source this from your own work e.g. 'Sources: own images'
Throughout this, you should probably know the difference between sources within a bibliography and appendices, both of which that appear at the end of the document and contain the information that you have used or have quoted from.
Sources are places where you have got information from e.g. websites, books.
Appendices are images which you refer to in the passage and other texts such as transcripts that have been personally made.
Within essays, cite as you go along. It is difficult to describe, however I will be spending time doing this in my future posts, so have a look in them. I will also do a short post to give people the idea on how to cite correctly (in the Harvard style).
I hope this has been useful! And cite well, for I don't want anyone losing marks!
Art History Timeline feature shall return soon.
