== Works of visual art ==
=== Individual objects and parts ===
An object can be part of another object.<ref>Cf. also [[Wikidata:WikiProject Visual arts/Questions#Items for single object parts!?]]</ref> Groups of artworks should be identified as such by a {{P|31}}-claim with one of the [//tools.wmflabs.org/wikidata-todo/tree.html?q=17489659&rp=279 subclasses] of {{Q|17489659}} as object. The members of the group should be identified as such by a {{P|361}}- or {{P|179}}-claim – currently both possibilities are used.<ref>Example for the use of {{P|361}}: {{Q|21948547}}; example for the use of {{P|179}}: {{Q|11770758}}. As of 4 January 2015 there is an open discussion about the use of the two properties on [[Property talk:P179#"has part" inverse uses]].</ref> For prints published in a another published work {{P|1433}} should be used.

To refer to a part of an object a qualifier with {{P|518}} is used. An item describing a part of an object is used as the value. If there is no item for the part and they are unambiguous, the items {{Q|17525438}}, {{Q|17525439}}, {{Q|17525441}}, {{Q|17525442}} and {{Q|17525443}}; {{Q|9305022}} and {{Q|9368452}}; {{Q|257418}} and {{Q|1542661}} are used as values of {{P|518}}.<ref>[[Q540716#P170|Belly Amphora by the Andokides Painter (Q540716)#P170]] uses {{Q|2165236}}, {{Q|11455120}} and {{Q|11455120}}.<br>
{{Q|11409212}} [https://www.getty.edu/research/tools/vocabularies/guidelines/cona_3_6_3_subject_authority.html#3_6_3_5 Editorial Guidelines, section 3.6.3.5.5.3 List of Subject Extent terms] might be taken as a guide for values to be created if needed.</ref> The number of parts can be stated with {{P|2635}} as in {{Q|829270}}.

If there are items describing the parts of an object there is no common practice how to indicate the relative position of the parts to each other unfortunately.

No discussion has taken place on how to describe the relation of two-dimensional objects to their frames. There is {{P|P7420}} to link to images on Commons with frames. (Those images get often cropped as the images in [[:c:Category:Painting frames]] show though.)

There are some cases of items (and Wikipedia articles) for a part of an image of a visual artwork. It might need more consideration on how to model them. Examples are {{Q|500242}} and {{Q|21993480}}.

=== Describing individual objects ===
{{Talk:Q15222213/class}}
=== Dimensions ===
There are many properties to describe the dimensions of an object:
*For two-dimensional objects, like paintings or prints, {{P|2048}} and {{P|2049}} should be used to refer to the dimensions of the surface, e.g. to the canvas that holds the oil paint for an oil on canvas painting. There does not seem to be an established solution of how to refer to the dimensions of two-dimensional objects including their frames. On {{Q|25334125}} {{st||||P518|Q860792}} is used as a qualifier. 
*For three-dimensional objects, like sculptures, {{P|2048}}, {{P|2049}} and  and {{P|P5524}} should be used to refer to three dimensions. 
*For round objects, properties {{P|2386}}, {{P|2120}} and {{P|P2547}} could be added
*For {{Q|12791}} and similar objects, properties {{P|2043}}, {{P|2049}} and {{P|2610}} might be more appropriate
*For {{Q|987767}} and {{Q|153988}} like objects, property {{P|P4511}} could be added

All of above properties can be accessed  on Commons by files using [[c:Template:Artwork]] with {{Para|wikidata}} parameter linking it to the related item or setting the appropriate properties in Structured Data on Commons. See [[c:Category:Artworks with Wikidata item missing dimensions]] for images, with size information, linked to Wikidata items, without.

=== Titles and labels<span id="Titles"></span> ===
Titles are a complicated field. If a work has a title {{P|1476}} should be used. Help regarding the language selection can be found [[Help:Monolingual text languages|here]].

Generally the label of an item should hold the title of the object it describes if the object has one. For general instructions for labels see [[Help:Label]]. The title should be formed with help of the guidelines at [[:en:Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Visual arts#Works of art]], at least for English labels, also considering the {{Q|11409212}} [https://www.getty.edu/research/tools/vocabularies/guidelines/cona_3_3_terms_names.html Editorial Guidelines, section 3.3 Titles and Names].

In some cases the names of notations in {{Q|1502787}} that can be found at http://www.iconclass.org/help/outline might be used in an adapted form as title.

Many works don't have titles. This is the case especially for non-figurative, non-artistic and old objects. A case are archaeological finds. Here often short descriptive expression is used followed by a short form of the holding institution and its inventory number is used as a label. An example is {{Q|56600320}}.

=== Depicted subjects and iconography ===
The main properties for this are {{P|180}} and {{P|921}}. For {{P|180}} one can use {{P|1354}} qualifier. Also with the qualifier {{P|2677}} the relative position on two-dimensional objects can be given using percents of height and width of the object. Note that for models rather than sitters {{P|2634}} should be used.

{{P|P1257}} can be used to link to {{Q|Q1502787}}.

Inscriptions can be given with {{P|P1684}}.

=== Images ===
To assign an image on Commons to an object item {{P|18}} is used. Use the best image available on Commons! For two-dimensional works the image should depict the whole surface without the frame. The image file with the whole surface can then be used as a reference for {{P|2677}}. Make sure to assign only one image per item since {{P|18}} has a single value constraint (as of 00:12, 28 April 2016 (UTC))<ref>Cf. [[Property talk:P18]].</ref>.

In case of items related to group of objects, like {{Q|15709879}} or {{Q|1278452}}, try to find a single image showing multiple objects, otherwise use image with an exemplar object. In case of two-sided objects like coins, {{Q|2378522}}, etc., try to find a single image showing both sides or add two images with {{st||P518|Q9305022}} and {{st||P518|Q9368452}} qualifiers.

=== Use of {{P|170}} in uncertain cases ===
If the work of art is attributed to someone we still use {{P|170}} with the creator, but we qualify it with {{P|5102}} set to {{Q|Q230768}}.

If no distinguished instance of {{Q|215627}}, {{Q|43229}} or {{Q|16334295}} is known as a value of {{P|170}} then {{Q|4233718}} should be used. {{P|170}} should be set to {{unknownvalue}} with qualifier 
{{P|3831}} set to {{Q|4233718}}. The following qualifiers may be used to link the object to a distinguished instance related to its creator:
* {{P|1774}}: The object was probably created by students or employees of the artist in the same workshop, possibly with help of the named artist.
* {{P|1776}}: The object is by an unknown artist who lived in the same time as the named artist in a similar style, possibly a follower or someone who had contact with the named artist.
* {{P|1775}}: The object is by unknown artists who work in the manner of the named artist.
* {{P|1780}}: The object is by an unknown creator with a style influenced by the known artist or circle, active in the same period, but a student or follower.
* {{P|1779}}: There is a bigger uncertainty about the creator of the object.
* {{P|1777}}: The object is in similar style as the named artist, but not necessary from the same period.
* {{P|1877}}: The object was strongly inspired or copied by a work of the named artist.
* {{P|1778}}: The object is a forgery trying to appear to be the work of the named artist.

If no distinguished instance is known but some qualities of the value of {{P|170}} these should be added as qualifiers. For example:
* {{P|172}}
* {{P|551}}
* {{P|1317}}

=== Object history or provenance ===
* See [[Wikidata:WikiProject Provenance]]
Those properties are useful:
* {{P|793}} with those values:
:* {{Q|17781833}}
:* {{Q|22340494}}
:* {{Q|5260774}}
:* {{Q|211557}}
:* {{Q|313326}}
:* {{Q|14903979}}
:* {{Q|7884274}} (Are there cases of an ''explained'' {{Q|3030513}} of an artwork?)
* {{P|127}} use if possible time qualifiers {{P|580}}, {{P|582}}, {{P|585}}
* {{P|1028}} with {{P|585}}
* ''({{P|746}}: Currently this property has {{Q|215627}} as its only domain, but [[Property talk:P746#what about aircrafts, submarines, etc.?|extension is discussed]].)''
For the entry of historical dates see [[Help:Dates]], especially also {{section link|Help:Dates|Inexact dates|nopage=y}}.

In [[:c:Template:Artwork]] this information is hold in the <code>object history</code> field, mapping of [[:c:Template:ProvenanceEvent]] has yet to be done!

The location of an artwork can be described with {{P|276}}. For objects in depots or generally not on display instances of {{Q|1191732}} can be used like {{Q|29343881}} or {{Q|19059868}}. Cf. also the discussion [[Wikidata talk:WikiProject sum of all paintings/Archive/2016#Location]].

=== Collection history ===
The main property to describe the collection a work is part of is {{P|195}}. For works in unspecified private collections use {{st||P195|{{unknownvalue}}|P3831|Q768717}}. For specified private collection an item for the collection should be found or created.

=== Relations between objects ===
[[File:Joconde de Calamatta.jpg|thumb|upright=0.7|{{Q|58087321}}, print by Luigi Calamatta ''{{P|144}}'' the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci]]
[[File:David Teniers (II) - Archduke Leopold Wilhelm in his Picture Gallery at Brussels.jpg|thumb|upright=0.9|{{Q|19939106}} ''{{P|180}}'' many other artworks]]
''For the relations of groups of works or series see above {{section link||Individual objects and parts}}.''

There are some properties to describe relations between works and objects, most of them have corresponding inverse properties or are themselves symmetric properties:
* {{P|144}} ↔ {{P|4969}}
* {{P|180}} ↔ {{P|1299}}
* {{P|1639}}: symmetric property
* {{P|460}}: symmetric property
* {{P|1889}}: symmetric property
* {{P|6606}}: no inverse property

{{P|144}}/{{P|4969}} are used for all kinds of derivation, including preparatory works, studies and the like.<ref>There was [[Wikidata:Property proposal/Study for]] which didn't have a clear outcome.</ref>

{{P|180}}/{{P|1299}} can be used where a work depicts another object, for example for {{Q|19939106}}.

{{P|460}} and {{P|1889}} can be used to express a former belief that two objects were identical or different. This case emerges in particular where at least one of the subject was or is only known from other sources like texts. The properties should then be used with the applying qualifiers and sources. {{P|1310}} and {{P|3680}} can be useful here.

=== Qualifiers ===
{{List of properties/Header}}
Qualifiers are additional bits of data that make a statement more informative or more accurate. Like the main part of the statement they are composed of a qualifier/value couple. Here are some properties that can be useful as qualifiers:
{{List of properties/Row|
 |id                = 518
 |description       = part of the object for which the statement is true. Examples:<br />* {{P|170}} John Doe <small>{{P|518}}: {{Q|13217555}} </small><br />* {{P|186}}: {{Q|Q12321255}} <small>{{P|518}}: {{Q|861259}} </small>
 |example-subject   = Q219831
 |example-property  = P186
 |example-object    = Q12321255
 |example-predicate = Q861259
}}{{List of properties/Row
 |id                = 459
 |description       = the method used by the source to make the statement. Examples:<br />* {{P|170}} John Doe  <small> {{P|459}}: {{Q|11873636}}</small><br />* {{P|585}} 6000 BC  <small> {{P|459}}: {{Q|173412}}</small>
 |example-subject   = Q691284
 |example-property  = P571
 |example-object    = 5. millennium BCE
 |example-predicate = Q173412
}}{{List of properties/Row
 |id                = 18
 |description       = when the image is particularly relevant for a particular statement. Examples:<br />* {{Q|1212937}} -> {{P|180}}: {{Q|9604}} <small> {{P|18}}: [[:File:Hans_Holbein_the_Younger_-_The_Ambassadors_-_Google_Art_Project-x1-y2.jpg|Hans_Holbein_the_Younger_-_The_Ambassadors_-_Google_Art_Project-x1-y2.jpg]].</small><br />* {{Q|1212937}} -> {{P|1684}}: ÆTATIS SUAE 25 <small> {{P|18}}: [[:File:Holbein age Selve.JPG|Holbein age Selve.JPG]]</small>

 |example-property  = P186
 |example-object    = Q41177
 |example-predicate = Q3142
}}

=== Types of visual artworks ===

We maintain distinct items for
# types of physical artworks
# art disciplines
# the related profession
# a related group of artworks, including as a series

Why?
# Because these concepts are conceptually different. An artistic discipline is not a work of art; a work of art is not a profession.
# This conceptual difference is, among others, reflected in external art history related terminology sources like the Art and Architecture Thesaurus, which also maintains separate terms ([http://www.getty.edu/vow/AATFullDisplay?find=painting&logic=AND&note=&page=1&subjectid=300033618 paintings (visual works)] vs [http://www.getty.edu/vow/AATFullDisplay?find=painting&logic=AND&note=&english=N&prev_page=4&subjectid=300054216 painting (image-making)])
# Therefore, using them in a wrong way would result in incorrect statements (e.g. {{Q|12418}} is NOT {{P|31}} the (abstract) art discipline {{Q|11629}} - the correct statement is that {{Q|12418}} {{P|31}} {{Q|3305213}})

Inter-relationships:
* {{statement|Q36649|P3095|Q3391743}}
* {{statement|Q3391743|P425|Q36649}}
* {{statement|Q36649|P1056|Q4502142}}
* {{statement|Q15709879|P2670|Q838948}}

=== Useful qualifiers ===
* {{P|1810}} -- to give the form of the artist's name that is preferred by the site
* {{P|3740}} -- for sites which also have examples of the artist's work (probably only sensible for sites that are complete or only slowly-growing)

=== Organisations that support the visual arts ===
Museums

Other collecting institutions

Galleries

== The context of the visual arts ==

=== Notable art exhibitions ===

* Item structure and to do list: [[Wikidata:WikiProject Visual arts/Item structure/Art exhibitions|WikiProject Visual Arts/Item structure/Art exhibitions]]

=== Art movement / Cultural movement / Architectural style / Art group ... ===

Wikidata contains many similar concepts that relate to movements, styles and other tendencies in the arts.

This may sound confusing. It's best to use '''common sense''' when distinguishing those. '''It is OK to use two (or more) concepts at the same time!'''

Please note: the [http://www.getty.edu/research/tools/vocabularies/aat/ Art and Architecture Thesaurus] (AAT) from the Getty, probably the most widely used art vocabulary in the world, has only one 'branch' to bring all these concepts together. It calls them broadly ''[http://www.getty.edu/vow/AATHierarchy?find=flemish+primit*&logic=AND&note=&page=1&subjectid=300264088 Styles and Periods]'' and then ''styles, periods and cultures''.

====Art movement====

* An '''{{Q|968159}}''' mainly has effect in the (visual) arts, maybe also design and architecture. 
* It is usually a broad movement in terms of place and time. Probably its artists didn't all know each other. 
* An art movement is not a kind of 'club' or 'group with formal members - for that, we have '''art group''' (see below). 
* Examples of typical art movements: {{Q|2107376}} (which spans two centuries!), {{Q|166593}}, {{Q|177725}}
* Item structure and to do list: [[Wikidata:WikiProject Visual arts/Item structure/Art movements|WikiProject Visual Arts/Item structure/Art movements]].

====Cultural movement====

* A '''{{Q|2198855}}''' is slightly broader, and also manifests itself in other art disciplines (literature, music...). 
* Examples: {{Q|Q37853}}, {{Q|164800}}
* Item structure and to do list: [[Wikidata:WikiProject Visual arts/Item structure/Cultural movements|WikiProject Visual Arts/Item structure/Cultural movements]]

====Architectural style====

* '''{{Q|32880}}''' is mainly used to indicate the style of buildings in architecture. 
* Examples: {{Q|595448}}, {{Q|Q238255}}
* Item structure and to do list: [[Wikidata:WikiProject Visual arts/Item structure/Architectural styles|WikiProject Visual Arts/Item structure/Architectural styles]]

====Art group====

* An '''{{Q|4502119}}''' is a club or group of artists who share a common ideal. 
* Usually, an art group has members and a founder. This is not the case for an art movement. 
* Wikidata does not have a separate indicator (yet?) for a so-called 'school' of artists who are contemporaries and who work in the same style, so '''art group''' is used in that case too. 
* Examples: {{Q|117035}}, {{Q|212611}}
* Item structure and to do list: [[Wikidata:WikiProject Visual arts/Item structure/Art groups|WikiProject Visual Arts/Item structure/Art groups]]
* Many languages don't know a difference between art group and art collective

====Artist collective====

* An '''{{Q|1400264}}''' is similar to an art group, but it especially indicates a group of artists who actually create artworks together. 
* Examples: {{Q|Q558276}}, {{Q|3482323}}
* Item structure and to do list: [[Wikidata:WikiProject Visual arts/Item structure/Artist collectives|WikiProject Visual Arts/Item structure/Artist collectives]]
* Many languages don't know a difference between art group and art collective
* art duo:  '''{{Q|85942930}}''' for two artists working together

====Art colony====

* An '''{{Q|1558054}}''' is a place where artists live and interact with each other
* Examples: {{Q|479361}}

====Art genre====

* An '''{{Q|1792379}}''' classifies an artwork (or an artist) by its form or content. An art movement is more about the cultural influence and tradition of the artwork and can be visible in many art genres at once.
* Examples: {{Q|134307}}, {{Q|212431}}, {{Q|2083647}}
* Item structure and to do list: [[Wikidata:WikiProject Visual arts/Item structure/Art genres|WikiProject Visual Arts/Item structure/Art genres]]

====Artistic theme====

==== Culture / period====
* A '''{{P|P2596}}''' (such as Roman or Inca) is an artwork's affiliation with a particular ethno-cultural tradition, although the individual artist may be unknown.
* A '''{{P|2348}}''' (such as the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt or the High Middle Ages) is an artwork's affiliation with a cultural-historical era, when it can best be dated by stylistic trends rather than a specific date.
*'''{{P|P1319}}''' and '''{{P|P1326}}''' can be useful as qualifiers for specifying the range of possible dates assigned by art historians to a work.  '''{{P|P1480}}''' can also be use for "circa" or similar terms.
* An '''{{P|P2360}}''' is the target audience for a type of art that crosses cultures, such as Chinese export porcelain intended for the Western market.

== Linking to other websites ==
Links to Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects can be done through direct [[Help:Sitelinks|sitelinks]] and {{P|373}}. For links to other websites, you can use a lot of ID properties, instances of {{Q'|44847669}}, some are here:
{{List of properties/Header}}
{{List of properties/Row|id=347}}
{{List of properties/Row|id=350}}
{{List of properties/Row|id=1212}}
{{List of properties/Row|id=373
 |example-subject   = Q12418
 |example-object    = Mona Lisa
}}
{{List of properties/Row|id=973}}
{{List of properties/Footer}}

{{P|973}} should be used where an ID property doesn't exist.

Note that these properties may also be used to source the statements see {{section link||Providing sources}}.

== Providing sources ==
Some statements do not really need a source (for instance that the Mona Lisa is a portrait or that its Joconde database ID is [http://www.culture.gouv.fr/public/mistral/joconde_fr?ACTION=CHERCHER&FIELD_1=REF&VALUE_1=000PE025604 000PE025604]). However, in many cases, it is useful to provide references. See [[Help:Sources]] for more information.
