Art & Art History (ARTA): Homework Help

If you need help with writing a research paper on Art History, or developing a critical analysis of an artist's work, look here for some tips to get you started. You may also find it helpful to set up an appointment with a tutor at the NCC Learning Center.

• Hunter College (City University of New York), Rockowitz Writing Center: Writing About Art

Good news!

Both NCC Libraries are open, but you can still borrow books and other materials remotely by using our Library to Go service. You can choose quick pickup on campus, or free delivery to your home.

Use the same form to request:

• Access to materials that your instructor has put on electronic reserve in Blackboard;
• Scanned pages from reference books like encyclopedias;
• Scanned articles from print journals in the Library's Periodicals Tower.
