Doing this will put you in the position of the maker of the piece, considering the decisions that they made and their reasons for doing so.
After your careful looking, you should come up with an interpretation of what the artist was trying to communicate based on your observations. Do not ignore your experience of the piece; but try to analyze your experience in light of the artistic choices made. For example, in writing about the Parthenon metope you might say that the sculptor was using a variety of techniques to convey the energy and the tension of the battle between the Lapiths and the Centaurs. You would then say what those techniques are.
