Compose your thoughts with careful research/
Compose your thoughts with careful research, analysis, and personal insight. Your commentary will become mind-opening as you demonstrate critical thinking about your topic. Use visual and precise language, seeking to make connections between ideas and artistic form. Clarity is necessary, as is original thought. Remember to seek accuracy, write visually, and get to the point.
Apply terms from the language of the elements of art and principles of design to invoke a visual sense of the art and its style in your text.
