Name a Piece of Art
Have you ever made a piece of art, but you did not know what to name it? Here are several steps that just might put you on the right track.
Steps
- Try to remember the thought that led you to doing your art piece in the first place: It is helpful if you can think of it. Maybe you were feeling depressed and the reason for the painting was to get it out of your mind.
- When you look at the piece how do you feel? Do you feel sad, happy or confused? These emotions can lead to a very wide variety of titles. Who knows what people are seeing through your art. As an artist, you need to select a title that you FEEL is right, regardless of relevancy.
- Maybe the name just comes to you: A completely random name for the piece that doesn't fit in anywhere is also acceptable! Remember YOU ARE the artist! Whatever you say, goes.
- Remember, names are not everything. A name does not bring down the standard, beauty or quality of a painting or other form of art.
- Be creative. An interesting name is always entertaining, but it doesn't even have to be a word if you don't want it to.
- Think of 2-6 poetic words to put in a sentence, quotes, or phrases.
- Look at the details of the painting or piece of artwork. If you had a giant tie-dye peace sign with a nature background, but it's nighttime, it would probably be called "Beautiful Past" because far in the past, when humans weren't around, animals were perfectly happy.
- Pick random words that you like, and when someone asks you where you got it, say, "I thought it up because it's my painting, and I like it".
