art citation

Art citation is the process of giving proper credit to the creator of an artwork by providing specific details about the piece, such as the artist’s name, title, date, medium, and source. This allows others to identify, locate, and appreciate the artwork accurately. It’s similar to referencing a book or article but tailored for visual art, ensuring respect for the artist’s rights and contributions. Proper citation maintains the integrity of your work, supports academic and artistic honesty, and helps build a reliable record of artistic history.
