Explanation:Sources of Art Subjects:

1. Nature-animals, people, landscapes. These 3 are the most common inspiration and subject matter for art.

2. History- artists are sensitive to the events taking place in the world around them. the dress, the houses, the manner of living, the thoughts of a period are necessarily reflected in the work of the artist.

3. Greek and Roman Mythology-these are the gods an goddess. its center is on deities and heroes

4. the judaeo christian tradition- religion and art, The Bible, the apocrypha, the rituals of the church

5. Oriental sacred texts-the countries of the orient, especially china, japan, and india, have all produced sacred texts of one kind or another, and these inspired various kinds of art. most fruitful have been the texts and traditions of Hinduism and Buddhism.
An actual work of art, whether a painting or a building, is a primary source. A primary source is "first-hand" information, sources as close as possible to the origin of the information or idea under study. Primary sources are contrasted with secondary sources, works that provide analysis, commentary, or criticism on the primary source. In literary studies, primary sources are often creative works, including poems, stories, novels, and so on. In historical studies, primary sources include written works, recordings, or other source of information from people who were participants or direct witnesses to the events in question. Examples of commonly used primary sources include government documents, memoirs, personal correspondence, oral histories, and contemporary newspaper accounts.

Books written by the artist, such as a journal/diary/autobiography/letters are examples of primary sources. Newspaper and magazine articles written by someone who attended an opening or a talk by an artist would be primary sources. Books and articles written by friends and associates during the artist's lifetime would also be primary sources.
