Using language to talk about work

I thought that this would help you to act as prompts remember some of the things that you can talk about when you are looking at a piece of art or design work. Ask yourself not just if you like it but WHY it works? You may also find this book 'Foundations of Art and Design' by Alan Pipes very useful as it is easy to understand and gives lots of contemporary examples. They have a few copies in the library or it is on Amazon.
