Curators are curious about art and careful how they

Curators are curious about art and careful how they write about it. These six writing styles are examples that give the curator practice in being creative and putting their thoughts in print. Each style expresses a unique approach to looking at art. The six have been adapted from an early version of Rita Gilbert's "Writing Guide and Projects Manual" for art. As an expert, you will want your writing and thinking to be viewed in the best possible light, so always compose your ideas in your word-processor, then save your work, use spell check, and grammar check before publishing.
