With UVU's School of the Arts hosting the Arts in Education Conference this week, we took a look at some of the art and art research resources available in the Library.

Art Book Collection

We have artist biographies, critical works, and hundreds of books on painting, drawing, and sculpting techniques. Our art books are located on the fourth floor, in section N.

Art Full Text

Art Full Text is the database for art research. It includes a mix of scholarly and professional literature in visual art. It also includes the latest in art news, so you can use it to keep up on what's happening in the art world.

Dictionary of Modern and Contemporary Art

This dictionary is a key resource for understanding the vibrant and experimental schools of modern and contemporary art. It includes definitions and short biographies of important artists.

Grove Encyclopedia of Materials and Techniques in Art

Learn more about how artists work in various media with this thorough encyclopedia from Oxford University Press. It's a great source to learn the lingo!

Feel free to bring your art research questions to us at the Reference Desk, located in the first floor Information Commons. You can also ask Keith Rowley, our art subject librarian.

Adobe Creative Suite 6

The Library's Macs have Adobe Creative Suite 6 installed for student use. Feel free to stop by the Library to work on your projects, but remember to bring something to save your work on!
