Describing Your Art Properly - Part 2

A few add on's to yesterday's post:

1.  If you think you're art is so complex or abstract that it defies description, let me help you out . . .

It isn't.

Just because something may be difficult to describe doesn't mean you shouldn't try to do so.  If an entire political campaign can be condensed into a few phrases, "hope", "change", "yes we can", then you should be able to do something similar to your body of work.

2.  Creating simple, easy to remember ways to describe your work doesn't mean you are "dumbing things down" to appeal to the masses.

You aren't doing it because people are stupid.

You do it because people are busy and they forget things.

So if you want people to connect to your work, you have to cut through the clutter of their daily lives.  The words you use are a powerful tool for doing that.
