TIPS for ESSAY – Guidelines
Helpful suggestions for composing your writing:
Write your essay in the present tense and in third person. Omit use ofpersonal pronouns (ex. I, we, you, us, etc.) Make clear, concisestatements of fact, not opinion.
Include: Introduction, body of text, conclusion
Describe any art works using Visual Analysis – WHAT is the art work about? Subject? Use specific detail.
REMINDER: the good Qs to remember: WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, WHY, and HOW? Be Specific…!
Introduction: Make engaging opening statements – Bring the reader into your writing.

Balance, scale, mass/volume, perspective, structure, etc.
Materials, medium, techniques, process, methods
(some elements are not applicable)
(painting, sculpture, photography, drawing)
Discuss: Context in which the art work was created? What do you knowabout the art and the art works the artist created? What may have beenthe intention of the artist in creating the works?
The reader may need background info about the artist to understand the subject.
** Some Qs that are merely guidelines and may not always apply:
o Does the art work communicate an action, narrative, or story?
o Does the art work explore movement… capture objects in motion?
o What kind of abstract elements can observe in the art work?
o Is text used in the work? Explain
o Do key objects have symbolic value or provide a clue to meaning?
o What is the overall mood… (this can be your perspective, of course)
o What. Subject matter contributes to the mood?
o What events and surrounding environments influenced the art works? (Context)
o Is the work characteristic of a particular style, movement, pr time period?
Stick to your topic… no sideline tangents … ideas should flow andtransition to each supporting sentence and paragraph …. no grandiosevocabulary.
Conclude – affirm your opening with thoughtful, engaging statements without repeating the opening.
