Name a Piece of Art

Have you ever made a piece of art, but you did not know what to name it? Here are 5 steps that just might put you on the right track.

Edit Steps

  1. 1
    Try to remember the thought that led you to doing your art piece in the first place: It is helpful if you can think of it. Maybe you were feeling depressed and the reason for the painting was to get it out of your mind.
  2. 2
    When you look at the piece how do you feel? Do you feel sad, happy or confused? These emotions can lead to a very wide variety of titles. Who knows what people are seeing through your art. As an artist, you need to select a title that you FEEL is right, regardless of relevancy.
  3. 3
    Maybe the name just comes to you: A completely random name for the piece that doesn't fit in anywhere is also acceptable! Remember YOU ARE the artist! Whatever you say, goes.
  4. 4
    Remember, names are not everything. A name does not bring down the standard, beauty or quality of a painting or other form of art.
  5. 5
    Be creative. An interesting name is always entertaining, but it doesn't even have to be a word if you don't want it to.
  6. 6
    If you still cannot think of a name - ask a friend!
