Tips:
* This is a great lesson to do before you have students title their artwork and do critique.
* Titling a work of art: What you title a work of art can change how people see your work. Look at the art work above. What if I title it 'fox'? What do you think? What if I title it bat? The monster under my bed? Or what if I flip the painting over and call it rhinoceros or chicken dinner? I am changing what you see just by the words I use.
* Discussing your artwork: It is intimidating talking about your artwork. You are showing people a piece of you. You are showing how much you practice and the ideas you have. This is a great piece to practice talking about because you can't determine the outcome of the artwork when you begin. There is little skill in the work. Why did you pick this one to show us? (assuming they have made several) Why did you use these colors? What is your favorite thing about this artwork? If you were going to make this work again, how would you do it differently?
