ARTIST STATEMENT

I AM POSTING THESE QUESTIONS AGAIN SO YOU DONT HAVE TO GO HUNTING FOR THEM ON PAST POSTS. USE THESE QUESTIONS WHN YOU WRITE ABOUT YOUR WORK.

ARTIST STATEMENT

Your blog entries will be graded for  all work posted and how you explain your process.

IN A PARAGRAPH FORM -  CREATE AN ARTIST STATEMENT  FOR EACH WORK THAT ADDRESSES THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:

·         WHAT WERE MY GOALS AND INTENTIONS IN THIS ARTWORK?

·         HOW DID I ACCOMPLISH THEM?

·         WHAT IS MY PAINTING ABOUT? (reflected light? Composition? Texture of surface? Dramatic shadows? Backlighting? Interesting markmaking? Smoothness ? etc…)

·         WHAT WAS THE MOST DIFFICULT CHALLENGE I HAD TO FACE?

·         HOW DID I MEET THAT CHALLENGE?

·         WHERE DOES MY PAINTING REALLY WORK?

·         WHAT ARE SOME THINGS HAVE I LEARNED THAT I CAN BRING INTO MY NEXT PAINTING? (ANY THING FROM PAINT MIXING TO NEW COMPETANCIES)

·         WHAT MENTOR CAN I NAME THAT HELPED ME AND WHAT DID I LEARN FROM THEM?

·         NAME ANOTHER ARTIST IN THE CLASS AND DESCRIBE SOMETHING YOU LEARNED FROM THEM (EVEN IF YOU DIDN’T DO IT)

·         IF I HAD A DO-OVER WHAT WOULD I DO?

·         WHAT DO YOU FEEL BEST ABOUT YOUR WORK?
