Writing the Artist Statement

Friday 1-24-14

Artist Statement examples and worksheets.  By the end of class today you should have a draft attached to your blog as a separate button.  Once you have composed your own artist statement in a google doc, then go to the "layout" in Blogger, click "add gadget", and finally click to add a "text box".  Copy your text into that box, then save, and it will add the gadget to your blog.

Answer these questions to help you:

What kind of work am I doing?

How am I doing it?

Why am I doing it?

What influences me most?

How does my art relate to the art of my contemporaries (or, in your case, your classmates)?

What do I want other people to understand about my art/photography?

Am I unwilling to discuss any aspects of my work? If so, why?

What direction could I see my work moving in the future?
