SITE REPORTS: CITATIONS

As discussed in class – Site Reports are all about observations, reflections, and analysis. There is no need to research outside sources for this report. However, it is ok to include an additional source if it does not replace your own observations or ideas and you find it important and relevant as long as you place the text in quotes, and cite and reference the source.  Here are some helpful links: (The following material is about APA style. If you are used to another style that’s ok – you can use it)

  • “How to cite something you found on a website in APA style”:  http://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2010/11/how-to-cite-something-you-found-on-a-website-in-apa-style.html

Although it is an artists’ weekend – everyone can learn something new about their theme/topic of interest this weekend in the open artists’ studios. Art touches everything in life – and the open studios are an opportunity to get to know aspects of the Gowanus that are not usually available. Go, mingle, talk to people, have fun and make new discoveries!!!
