1. Image Search Engines: Click here for a search engine (http://www.ditto.com/)--that searches for graphics/pictures and displays the results as thumbnails. Other good search engines for artworks include: World Wide Web Art Resources; or an alphabetized listing of artists with images, info, and links; or resources and listing of sculptors; or go to category 2 of a website hotlist I prepared for art educators. You may find your image from any Web site or create in any other way.

2. How to capture an image from the Internet: When you find an image to critique, click on it with the mouse and hold the mouse down until a menu appears. Then slide over with the mouse held down so that "save image" is highlighted. Then let go of the mouse (unclick). Look at the top box to see where the image will be saved. Once you have saved the image you can put it in your Web site or open it through PhotoShop or GraphicConverter and manipulate the image there before placing it on your Web site.

3. Image Making Software: If you do not have an image making software then download GraphicConverter to use in this course for image making. Or go to "Download.com." From there, go to "Multimedia Design," then to "Image Editing." It's right there under "Today in Downloads." This site GraphicConverter provides basic instructions on how to use GraphicConverter.

4. How to Animate Images: If you would like to animate your image with GraphicConverter (even if created in other image making software) follow these instructions:

Go to File menu and select "Convert more"

In the "convert" column select a folder filled with images named or "renamed" 1.gif, 2.gif, 3.gif, . . . 9.gif, x10.gif

Change to "gif"

make a new empty folder in the "Destination" column

Options click "create movie" , 89a, normal, optimize, and loop (if desire)

then click "convert"

5. Citing the Source: Copy the Web site address (its URL) and place that with the image on your Web page--identifying the image with a URL is to avoid copyright infringements. See how to properly cite others' work used in your work.)
