http://www.asiasociety.org/arts/imagesdivine/bodhisattvas.html This website is very informative. In this website there is a whole section about the type of statue I’m studying. There are discrete details about the artwork that are give in this webpage. “Bodhisattvas are generally identified by the objects they hold, called attributes, or by a small image in their headdresses.” This was a good detail, which helped me to find details in my statue. It was very helpful for my annotations.

It also explains the reasoning behind the different aspects of the statue.” Along with the usual draped garment and scarf of a Bodhisattva, both of which are carved with crispness, suggesting the thin silk fabrics worn by the nobility of more southern regions than Gandhara, the Buddha-to-be wears a turban held in place by a twisted cord, secured by a lotus ornament on his forehead and tied on either side of his head.” This was also a beneficial fact for my annotations. -eli
• This site contains several quotes from the Zen Master Dae Kwang in a teaching where he answered many questions and spoke of the meaning of Zen and enlightenment. Most notably, he mentioned why Buddhas were portrayed with large ears. This is because large ears are looked upon because they represent wisdom and compassion.

This is a great website. It basically annotates a medieval/christianity peiece of art for you. It boxes peieces of art and explains the relevence of it. The only flaw of this website is that it is somewhat of a blog type, picture commenting servise. Even though it is a blog sort of thing the information still seems credible from imformation i already knew.
this is a good site if you need information about the statue of King Menkaure, the goddess Hathor, and the deified Hare nome. it looks a little iffy at first, but there are multiple links to other things and you can email the author of the article directly.
http://witcombe.sbc.edu/menkaure/menkaurediscovery.html Even thought this website may not include the picture it still gives lots of information on artwork during that period. It also give informaiton about the Pharaoh. It's URL includes an .edu so it can't be very unreliable.

For my second annotated art, I used http://ehistory.osu.edu/world/articles/ArticleView.cfm?AID=16 this website because it provided very indepth and detailed information on the Actium War, which was relevant to my art. Though the article had more info than I needed I was able to pick out the important parts. It also is a university site, and I think you can search other topics on it. The second site I used was a Wikepedia-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_art, (GASP!), but it was on Roman Art and proved very useful on defining the key attributues about Roman Art. This other related Wiki, -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_sculpture, also helped summarize Roman sculpture and explained why alot of Roman art is merely plagarized Greek art. - Caitlin
http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/ho/06/sss/hod_27.79.htm This website gave much information about the differences between the Shiva as Sadashiva or Mahesha. I never knew there were different kinds of Shivas. The destroyer and the creator. I felt this website was good because it gave background information about the forms and different aspects of these sculptures. The design originated from the beliefs and customs of that country. Samantha Post
http://www.asiasociety.org/arts/creativeeye/bjornbill.html This was a good website about the Ganesha and his consorts. I felt they went into great detail about different body shape and gestures. The movement and detail of these sculptures effected the way they are portrayed as a god! I liked this wbsite alot because i found the detail and information was very valuable.
