How to Write an Artist's Statement

An artist statement is a helpful guide to your work. It is your chance to interact with the viewer.

Some questions you should answer in your statement:

1. Why did you make this project (intention)? Does your work tell a story?
2. How did you make this project (process)? Be descriptive.
3. What materials did you use in your project?
4. What elements and principles of design are present in your project (elements: line, shape/form, value, color, space, texture; principles: balance, unity, contrast, emphasis, pattern, movement/rhythm)?
5. Did you have any influences?

Two good examples:

Jamey Stillings

Kathleen Bitetti

Your Artist Statement should be formatted in the following manner:

• Center your name as the title, in bold font: Your Name Artist Statement
• Center the title of your Artwork, in bold font: Title
• Begin your artist statement, single spaced. If you have more than one paragraph, double space in between paragraphs--no longer than one page in length, please.
• Please edit and do spell check! Reading out loud is a good way to catch errors.
• Print out a copy to turn in with your project presentation.
