Point-of-View in Your Essay
Remember that this is not a personal narrative. While you may include a personal story as a narration, you are not writing solely about your personal relationship with art. Try to stick to the third person point-of-view. Also, avoid addressing the reader directly. Do not use the “you” pronoun and do not ask rhetorical questions.
Revising Your Essay
Ask yourself questions about the draft. Approach this revision through the reader’s eyes, not as the writer. If you didn’t know you at all, would you understand everything you’re reading? Would you understand the relationship with art being explained? Or do you say, “I don’t get it.” If there are places that may sound confusing to you as reader (even if they don’t to you as writer) then these areas need to be addressed.
Before turning in your draft, you should spend some time revising your essay, making sure that your draft is clear, concise, and is completely relative to your thesis statement. Give the completed first draft a day or two. Take some space from the work, then go back and reread it OUT LOUD. Listen to how the paper sounds. Use these guidelines as a way to workshop your own paper.
Answer Preview
Art has been said to be really simple and one can know art when they see it, but this ambiguous answer is the reason the French carefully drew up a list of ten forms of art. The first six were not revolutionary categories of art; it was music, sculpture, architecture, literature and the visual arts. Cinema was listed as number seven and the next three are just labeled as ‘media arts’, which are just radio at number 8 and television at number 9. The tenth art is the final form proposed by Claude Beylie and established in 1971 by Francis Lacassin; the term given to the tenth art is the French word “bande dessinée” which translates to ‘cartoon or graphic novels’ (Mongeon, 86). This is 3D printing; in the tenth form of art.
