Best Practices

• •Use Evocative and Sensory Language: Describe the artwork and its themes in ways that appeal to emotion and intellect, using words that evoke atmosphere, texture, and contemplation (e.g., "haunting," "serene," "stark," "layered").
• •Maintain a Reflective, Questioning Stance: Frame descriptions and announcements not just as statements, but as invitations to think, question, and feel. Pose subtle questions or hint at deeper inquiries.
• •Prioritize Clarity and Conceptual Depth: While poetic, ensure the language clearly communicates the core ideas and research behind the artwork. Avoid overly obscure jargon but don't shy away from intellectual engagement.
• •Emphasize the "Why" Behind the Work: Connect the artwork back to the underlying values—environmental consciousness, observation, the human-nature relationship. Let the passion for these subjects subtly shine through.
• •Be Consistent Across Platforms: Whether it's an Instagram caption, a website product description, or an email, the core tone—thoughtful, professional, evocative, and environmentally aware—should remain consistent, adapting slightly in length or formality for the specific medium.
