A title helps support the communication of your work's meaning to your audience and should never take center stage. A title should: ● direct the viewer's attention to what your work is communicating ● clarify their suppositions ● confirm their interpretations ● deepen their understanding USE POWER WORDS Use words that get quickly to the main point of the message that your work is communicating. Titles are especially powerful when they explore the main conflict of your work. "Murder Your Darlings"
 * =TITLE TIPS=

Be wary of the title that you fall in love with at first sight". Take a second look at it in the daylight to be sure that it is as good looking as you really think it is. One way to shed some light on your title is to compare it to other titles. Sometimes you have to kill off a title that you really love so you can get to the one that really works. What's in a name?

Play with the words in your title. Wrestle with them if you have to.

Dali could have called his famous painting "A Persistence of Memory" instead of "The Persistence of Memory". Using "the" implies a broader societal meaning while "a" communicates a more personal meaning.

Question: Why did Dali not just call it "Persistence of Thoughts"? || =WHAT IS A LITERARY ARTIST STATEMENT?=

A literary artist statement addresses each of the following areas: []
 * Introductory paragraph stating the subject and theme of the box.
 * body paragraphs that use literary tools to analyze and explain how the title and three or more elements in the work establish the theme of the work.
 * two different explanations of the connection between elements in your work and works studied this year in Honors European Literature (tip: look for literary allusions).
