Why?How to develop your communication skills:1. Think about art
– How does it make you feel?– What techniques is the artist using?– What is the piece’s composition like?
2. Write about art– Write your thoughts down– Reread them
3. Speak about art– Participate in critiques

The SketchbookAll art students should
have a sketchbook. Why?• To help you
