How do i change a formal dress and make it look less formal?
Q. i have a tube dress,which looks formal.it has two layers,the inner one is black and outer one is purple so the whole dress looks drak pupple.im planning to wear it to a christmas service in church and i dont want to look over dressed.
Asked by Tammie - Thu Dec 6 22:37:30 2007 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Instead of wearing heels you can wear comfortable flats & maybe a mini jacket or sweater over your dress will help. Don't use really shiny earrings maybe a casual earring and try not to get too fancy with your hair like putting too much gel to make it shiny or having a lot of hair accessories in there. Hope this helps! Even though, have fun at the party!

How to write a formal art critique on black and white photographs?
Q. I have to write a formal critique paper for a "women in art" class I'm taking over 3 photographs by Dorothy Lange. I had to write a practice review/critique of one of her photographs and my teacher wants me to use more "technical" terms and "art jargon" and "describe the texture". I'm pretty lost, have no art background, and we've learned nothing about that stuff in class or the text yet. Any suggestions? THANKS! PS: the exhibit by Dorothy Lange are sepia photographs
Asked by Girl Face - Wed Feb 25 21:59:00 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Check out some of the Time Life photography books in the library. Those are written in the style that addresses technical aspects as well as including numerous passages of art jargon, some of it quite pretentious and over the top. If you look at those books and then use that writing style and jargon to critique your photos it may give the teacher exactly what she's looking for.
