Art Gallery Lab Entrance Assignment


Choose At Least Two Art Works for the Art Gallery Lab

In the Art Gallery Lab, you will be creating a form you could use to enter data into a "crowd-sourced" (or "class-sourced") Art Gallery database.

To test your form, you will need to find information about at least 2 works of art that you can enter into the database. (For this exercise, we will be including only visual art, not music, film, theatre, or other performance art.)

You may search any of the sites listed in the Sample Sources section below, or you may find some interesting piece of art on your own. There are just a few criteria for anything you find:

To test that your URL will work in an <IMG SRC='url'> tag, download this minimal HTML file and put your URL in the two spots labeled url_goes_here. If the image doesn't show up correctly, but clicking on it leads to a valid page, then the URL probably has some components that cannot be included in an IMG tag. If the image is from a Wikipedia page, you can click on the broken image, go to the original, then click on the Download icon in the lower right corner. Choose "View in Browser" and then copy and paste that version of the URL to use in your entry form.

Sample Sources

Below are some sample pages from which you could choose one or more interesting pieces. On some of these pages you may have to scroll down quite a bit to find most of their online images.

You may also look at other sources, but they may not make it as easy to find the information you need about the art work on their sites. Additional examples include:
