note of that eg.
"parallel lines throughout the garment"
"organic lines of red burst from the waistline..."
STEP 3 - Brainstorm linking words you could use to connect

eg. "Defines", "accentuates", "exemplifies"

on society? It is an abstract expression of "thought"?
Are there obvious symbols?
Does the title of the artwork tell me anything?
What do you bring to the artwork... Does your
background or experience
change the way we view the artwork?
STEP 5 - Carefully plan your response before writing ensuring you have ideas for each three parts of the formula....
