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 & gallery owners.
