  11. Good tactics • Underline key elements in the question, as a reminder of what is needed • Take 1-5 minutes to brainstorm: notes/charts • Only use works you know • Be specific, concise, and use proper terms • It is ok to flood with accurate details • Back up your points with evidence from the artwork • Always attempt every question to your fullest ability • Never second guess yourself

  12. Bad tactics • Missing key elements of the question • Not taking advantage of the time you have • Writing about pieces you know very little about, or are unclear on the facts • Giving vague or incomplete answers (“by that guy”) • Assuming the reader knows what you mean • Skipping a question

Explain how and why each work of art communicates hostility or violence.
