Many students and parents have a hard time thinking of titles for artwork. It can actually be a challenging creative decision for many artists, and we encourage your child to be creative and to have fun with it. Here are some suggestions:
1. A title can describe the contents of the piece, and in different ways. It can be very descriptive, it can be simple, it can be mysterious, it can be silly.
2. A title can reveal something more about the piece. It can provide a background story or clarify something confusing or cause the viewer to think more or look at the piece differently.
3. A title can add something new to a piece. Much like adding another mark or color to a piece, a title may add a new thought or feeling.
4. A good exercise to try is to look at the artwork with your child and to put together parts of different titles that resonate.
