Is there a web site that allows you to look up artists work and has a little analysis to tell you what its about, for example, for my Art A-level I need to look up some work on Auguste Rodin, but I can't find a decent website that'll tell me what the work is about. Pleeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaasssssssseeeeeeeee Help me out!!!!

yo' honestly, websites are fine but they do not do artists justice. You will find that information is very summarised and doesn't discuss the subject to a level that is required for A Levels or Degree work.
When I did A Level, I used the net to find books, I then got hold of the books and went from there. However, Rodin is a great sculptor so finding info about his work should be easier than you experienced.
Little tip: when writing or discussing an artists work, 50 % should be 'your own' response to the work and not something you read writtten by another dude...

Apart from websites there still exist Libraries. Libraries are full of books including books about art. The books about art usually contain information about artists in a well organized manner. Art history classes at universities still use text books about art. How about sticking your nose into a book for a change instead of keeping it glued to a computer screen?
A popular textbook is " the story of art"

Impressionists have been frequently excited approximately mild and coloration. So till you would be employing coloration pencils i've got faith that would desire to be thoroughly unrelated till there is extra study or some clean progression technique in contact. i could be wrong yet from what you have written it style of feels which you have not taken your study in the slightest degree heavily and you purely slot in the 1st artwork stream you may desire to think of of. It additionally seems which you're working backwards; it is you started from the assumption of what your very final piece would desire to be and now might desire to deliver mutually study to fulfill the quick. I easily have tried doing that and have faith me it would not artwork. I easily have been on artwork based classes for sometime now and my lectures have consistently been very strict or study and progression. desire here can assist you you alongside with your study. nicely you will desire to first think of roughly your topic on your Case 'overall performance'. perceive artists and or movements that have portrayed or tried the capture this. If I the place you i might look on the Futurist stream which became very excited approximately shooting stream. (between the artwork is a guy enjoying a violin so it is going to possibly be real up your alley) finally do not put in what you think of that lectures desire see or what their alternatives are. What they are going to be marking you for in the tip is the common of your study and the type you progressed it. while you're quite inspired via the photographers do not say you have been inspired via some thing else. and don't be too terrified of employing different media. stable luck

Using other artists work and passing it off as your own is called cheating or plaga-thingy so dont do it.
