Citing images of works in architecture, art and design can be challenging. Ask your professor what the preferred citation style is for the course. When you document images you need to create captions and bibliographic citations. When an image appears in the text you should write a descriptive caption indicating the source of the image. Then you create a more detailed entry in your bibliography. The most important thing is to be consistent in formatting the text.

For citing images of works in the visual arts you need to include the following information:

• Author
• Title
• Date
• Location/Repository
• Material/Medium
• Dimensions (if applicable)

For example:

Braque, Georges. Houses at l"Estaque. 1908. Oil on canvas, 730x595 mm. Kunstmuseum, Berne.
