Find Open Access Images Online

Do you need to study a work of art or find an image for your PowerPoint presentation? You may use the images from the websites below in your assignments as long as you properly attribute them. See your Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (7th ed.) for more information on how to cite an image.
