Activity 1. You know the topics you selected for your research project? Brainstorm a few common keywords or search terms for your different topics and work with your research peers to find two relevant scholarly sources, a book and an article. Search the library catalog for a book and one of these databases for an article: Art & Architecture Source, Academic Search Premier, or Historical Abstracts. Be prepared to share your findings with the class.
Activity 2. Look for one of the articles below and consider the following questions:
1) Gundle, S. (1999). Mapping the origins of glamour: Giovanni Boldini, Paris and the Belle Époque. Journal of European Studies, 29(3), 269-295.
