WHY DO ART STUDENTS NEED LIBRARY RESOURCES?
In addition to writing papers for class, the
library will help you find resources…
To inspire your work.
To understand how your work connects to the world
around you.
To express your motivations as an artist (e.g., artist
statement).
To explain your work to others like curators and
gallery owners.
