Most professors of art history require Chicago citation style to create bibliographies and footnotes, or a variant of Chicago known as Turabian. It's important to keep in mind that the purpose of a citation is to both give credit to authors and to lead readers back to the work you're using. You will want to be as complete as possible when formulating a citation.
Citation formats differ depending on the kind of resource you are using. There are a number of online citation style guides to help you make citations. You can also use a citation manager like Zotero to help you collect, organize and create citations.
Chicago Citation Quick Guide is a great place to start.
Chicago Citation Quick Guide is a great place to start for basic citations. For music citations see 14.263.
Image captions are slightly different than citations. Captions should include the location of the work of art itself, as well as the location of where you found the image. Below is an example of a caption for a work of public sculpture.
Title: Columbus Monument
Artist: Gaetano Russo

There is no standard format for creating show notes. Your professor has asked that your format your footnotes as you would a citation in art history. The standard citation formation for art historical research is Chicago. However, for your reference I've provided a few examples of show notes for podcast that use them liberally and creatively.
Example: Blog post for The Known Unknown
Example: Transcript for Caffeine: How Much is Too Much?
Example: Resources list for George Washington Williams
