How to help
How you can help depends on your time, resources, and interest. Here are a variety of ideas for contributions ranging from simple to complex. Take a look at the Open Tasks section of this page for more article-specific tasks.

Writing and editing
 * Create new articles: A good starting point might be requested visual arts articles.
 * List articles that are needed, but you aren't creating yourself, at requested visual arts articles.
 * If creating pages about artists, see Manual of Style (biographies) and WikiProject Biography.
 * Expand stubs:
 * Choose an article from an art stub subcategory and develop it. (See Article development.)
 * Choose an article from an artist stub subcategory and develop it. (See Article development.)
 * Check references on visual arts pages.
 * Copy-edit pages. Fix up grammar, spelling, links and the like.

Images
 * Upload and add images to visual arts pages. A logical starting point would be the requested art images.
 * Public domain image resources is a great place to start looking for images to add.
 * External links to online galleries/images can also be helpful, especially when free images are not available for upload and copyright violations might be an issue.

 * Sort stubs:
 * Move articles from Category:Art stubs to more specific stub categories.
 * Move articles from Category:Artist stubs to more specific stub categories.
