COP - Essay Research

I was looking into the history of the Louvre in order to compare in tho the Bauhaus, and was interested in statistics about visitors so I could assess its cultural value. I found a very useful online article from the Telegraph.

I then looked at it from a historical point to assess its historical value. For this I found that the most valuable resource was the Louvre's website itself.

From here I looked at the Monalisa so I had something to compare to the Gerhard Richeter painting that first got me into art and design a few years ago. I did this so I could compare the sentimental value of art between something massively famous to something massively personal. I found that the BBC was a good resource for this.
