Create Citation Below ClearForm Image, Artwork, Photograph, Artifact, Object, Model Images, artwork, and objects can be experienced in person or seen in a resource such as a book, periodical, database, or Web site. For citing artwork or objects that you experienced in person, use this template. For citing images (of artwork or objects) that you saw in a book, periodical, database, or Web site, MLA gives you two options. MLA says it is usually enough to identify the author and title of the image, artwork, or object in the body of your paper, followed by an in-text citation for the source you found it in. Then only cite that source (not the image) in your works cited list. For that option, use the Book, Periodical Article, or Web Site Article template to create the citation instead of using this template. The second option is to start a citation with the information about the image, artwork, or object, and then add the information about the container. The container is the resource -- book, periodical, database, and/or Web site -- in which you found the image. For that option, use this template. If you are unsure which option to choose, ask your teacher. Example – artifact, untitled (you provide a description), unknown creator, estimated date, viewed in a museum Covered wagon. Circa 1860, Oregon Historical Society, Portland. Example – painting, titled, viewed in a museum Monet, Claude. Garden at Sainte-Adresse. 1867, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Example – painting, titled, viewed in a book, found in a library database Monet, Claude. Garden at Sainte-Adresse. 1867. Monet, by Christoph Heinrich, Taschen, 2015, p. 21. Gale Virtual Reference Library, www.gale.com/gvrl. Example – painting, titled, viewed in a book, found on a Web site that is not the painter’s Monet, Claude. Garden at Sainte-Adresse. 1867.

Create Citation Below ClearForm Other -- Sources Not Covered in Other Templates Use this template to cite sources that are not already covered in MLA Citation Maker. The MLA 8 citation guidelines are somewhat flexible. The goal is for you to think critically about each source and to apply a few rules and principles to produce a citation that is appropriate for your project. Two people could use the same source but have different citations, and both could be correct. It depends on several variables, including what aspect of the source is most relevant to the project and what format was used. Use the most relevant fields of the basic template below to create a citation for your source.
