Research!
I began to research my topic of art. When I typed my theme into Academic Onefile I found a total of 294,416 sources about art. 47,121 of them were academic journals, 119,474 were magazines, 723 books, and 125,511 newspapers. When I typed my theme into Academic Search Complete, I found a total of 449,901 sources. There were 122,385 academic journals, 223,609 magazines, 99,868 newspapers, and 2,291 books on art. On both searches I found a grand total of 744,371 sources. Now that's a lot of sources. I decided to narrow down my search to art basics, and on Academic Onefile I got a total of 31 sources. 6 academic journals, 15 magazines, and 10 newspapers. Academic Search Complete found a total of 23 sources. That included 10 academic journals, 12 magazines, 1 newspaper, and 2 books. My art basics search on both sites got me a total of 54 sources. That's a lot smaller than just typing in art. But I'm not worried. I got the chance to click on some of the sources and them seemed to have some go information. I don't have to type in just art basics, I can type in art foundations or art rules and find some more sources. My art teacher even has posters in her room that describe all the art basics. So I really have quite a bit to work from.
