F
our Corners.

Writing the Labels
The “Why”
This is the most important part of the label. This is where you write out what you thought was important about the artwork, what you want others to know about the artwork, and/or what you find interesting about the artwork.
Why?Slide9
Writing the Labels
Why? Examples:
For the Totem Pole Project:
This work is about Navajo clans and the family relationships that are important within them. This particular artwork uses balance, because it helps keep the artwork standing. The piece is made entirely out of paper because it represents the trees that original totem poles were made of.Slide10
Writing the Labels
Why? Example:
For the Mask project:
This mask was made to represent something that is scary. It was built out of papier
mache
, paint, and other materials. This mask also was created to hide an identity, which is what most masks are created for.Slide11
Writing the Labels
Why? Example:
For the Grid artwork:
This artwork has meaning to the artist because it depicts his/her family/friends. The work is broken down into squares, which each have a different method of creating value in them. The artwork demonstrates the elements and principles of design because of the use of these methods of creating value.Slide12
Writing the Labels
The “Why”:
These labels should not contain words like I, me , myself, etc.
It should be written in 3rd person. (Like someone else is writing it for you).Slide13
Requirements

You should include all of the W’s, as well as 3 sentences for the why?
s
ection.
