MY PERSONAL ART GALLERY Project
At the beginning of Chasing Vermeer,
Petra talks about going through the art museum and thinking about which
piece of art you'd like to take home with you. Your task: choose and
analyze a famous, museum-quality piece of art you'd like to take home.
You can download the page and type your information into your gallery note page.
ONLINE RESOURCES to help you complete your project:

Color Picture Resources
Looking for a color picture to print? Online poster stores are a good resource.
http://www.barewalls.com
http://www.art.com
Find the largest image possible for best
quality. Pull from the corners only (not the sides, bottom or top) so
the image doesn't become distorted. Make sure you don't enlarge it too
much in your word document so it doesn't become too pixilated. Your
printout should be good quality. Document the source of your image!
