ARTstor
ARTstor is a nonprofit digital library of more than one million images in the arts, architecture, humanities, and social sciences with a suite of software tools to view, present, and manage images for research and pedagogical purposes.- GoogleArtProject
The best place to start is to focus on what you are most drawn to: a particular image/object? an artist? a time period? Once you have that, you can start asking questions and narrowing down to a question that you think would make a good project!
Good place for basic information:
Oxford Art Online
Several books in the library provide strategies for research, such as Badke's Research Strategies.
Mind mapping can also be very useful for thinking out your ideas and finding a direction.
