Research Task 3: Sourcing Images

As a student on this course you have access to Bridgeman and Oxford Art Online image libraries, which are a wonderful resource. If you haven’t already done so, spend some time finding your way around the Bridgeman Art Library and Oxford Art Online. You can access these through your OCA/UCA library access via the OCA student website.


I jumped straight to the Oxford Art Online website but unfortunately couldn’t access anything, after looking back on the OCA website it stated that the university is in the process of renewing the account for this so is temporarily unavailable.

Bridgeman Art Library was a success, this provides a wide and useful amount of artwork which will come in perfectly for research and inspiring choices. The site seems easy to navigate with everything set in clearly labelled tabs so you are able to come across artists which possibly you had never heard of!

Hello :) My names Rachael, I'm 25 years old and live in Ipswich. I have two young children which is why I chose to study with OCA to fit studying around family life. I left school in 2009 and decided to go to college to study hairdressing and passed both my NVQ 2 & NVQ 3 but soon after completing my last year I realised it wasn't something I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Since then I have had two children and I also got married earlier on this year, now that my youngest child is starting nursery next year I decided its now my chance to pursue my dream in becoming a graphic designer so here I am :) I'm looking forward to gaining lots of new skills and learning all about graphic design, I'm also looking forward to meeting fellow students studying this course :)
