How to Write an Art Review for The Vanishing Point

1. Choose an exhibition that produces a strong enough reaction in you to write about.

2. Begin the review by giving the reader a concise summary of the content.

3. Write an assessment of the content. This involves your reactions to the work: what strikes you as noteworthy, whether or not it is effective or persuasive.

4. Conclude the review by suggesting whether or not the audience would appreciate it.

5. Before emailing your review to the editors of The Vanishing Point, make sure your spelling and grammar are correct. Read your review out loud to yourself to find errors. Give your full, real name and major.

6. Be creative and most importantly have fun! (See what others wrote last semester at http://art-historians.blogspot.com ).

Format:
a. List the exhibition title, artist(s)' names, media,location, and exhibition dates on top.
b. If you discuss a work of art that is not in the show, send in a photo of it with your review.
c. Use 12pt Times New Roman, single spaced, no indentations.
d. 100-150 words. Anything over 150 will be published online. In that case, your name will be listed on the hard copy under "More Reviews."
e. Reviews should be in the body of the email. Do not send attachments. Send in the review by 11:59pm Monday to art.historians@gmail.com
