The forms were made to collect the most important aspects of each artist / artwork and to present them in a easy and friendly way. A first draft of the format for the Collection of Sources was presented during the first partners meeting. The form was discussed and corrected following the partners’ suggestions.
The final draft was then distributed to the partners by publication in the project website under the “Download” section.
Pixel created, together with Connectis, the structure and the main functions of the Michelangelo portal database for artists and artworks. The list is searchable both according a national and historical criteria.
Pixed collected and uploaded the lists of artists/artworks submitted by the partners.
Pixel finally checked all the material produced by the partners.
