Wikipedia:List of 100 Art concepts Wikipedia should have

This is a series of lists to identify the missing articles in Wikipedia related to Art. It is based on the concept of "List of vital articles" but specifically for art. There are three lists: art materials; art techniques; conservation-restoration materials; and conservation-restoration techniques. The point of creating these lists is to identify the 100 most important articles in each one so that the articles can then be assessed and improved.


 * "Redlinks" identify subjects that currently do not have a Wikipedia article, but should!
 * Just because a link is blue doesn't mean the article is any good, you can still improve it!
 * The idea of creating a "list of 100 things" is an arbitrary number, not a goal in itself.

Here are some good online resources:
