Welcome to the SYA Art History Wikia
Here is the ultimate study guide for you lot--a compilation of all the artworks, artists, and architecture we have studied this year in Art History. Please, add information. It's a lot to cover on my own.

Artwork/Architecture/Sculpture
To make a new page for an artwork/architecture/statue, do Last Name's Title of the thing. Carry on to add extra, template, type Infobox, choose artwork, then fill in the prompts. Please link the artist's name (done by placing four [ around what you want to link), the city of its origin, and anything else that you think needs its own page. For adding the picture, find a good one online (bing works better than google for this), save it as Artist's last name_one distinguishing word from the title.jpg. To make it show in the infobox, you do have to have that .jpg. Once all that information is in the infobox, go forth and write about the artwork/architecture. Try and arrange it somewhat logically. When you've finished adding everything, add to the categories table at the bottom. Period, creator, location of origin, what it is (Statue, Architecture, Painting) and dates are required (which really is annoying if it's in a range, but this'll pay off). Otherwise, whatever you deem necessary. Also, if it is a painting for the Renaissance, put Ren art; a sculpture, Ren stat; architecture, Ren Arch. These are different than the broad categories. REMEMBER: CAPITALIZATION MATTERS. Found that out the hard way.

Artist/Person
To make a new page for an artist/person, create the page title using the full name, or as much of it as commonly used. E.G for da Vinci, it's Leonardo da Vinci, but for Mantenga, it's just Mantegna. The infobox is under add extra, template, type in infobox, choose Artist. Fill it in to the best of your knowledge, linking the artwork(s) you choose to represent the person (last name's painting) and the time period. After that's filled out, type all the good stuff. That done, categories to use are the time period, the abbreviation (e.g, Ren Peo), and the town(s)/cities they worked in primarily.

Time Period
To make a new page for a time period, put the time period's name as the title. Add extra, template, type in infobox, time period (not period), and fill it out. Link the artworks you choose (last name's title), the people you choose (person's commonly known name), and the surrounding periods. That done, type whatever you'd like. Some order would be nice. Categories, add the period and the category Time Period.
