Resources for the study of Renaissance Art

A GOOD PROMISE TO MAKE FOR CLASS 6

I promise, for any new Chapin research project, that I explore my topic using the Library's Online Resources -- especially BRITANNICA, WORLD BOOK, and GROLIER. In addition to being more reliable, these resources will show me how to cite my source, so I don't have to do it from scratch.
