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:
- Why did you make this project (intention)? Does your work tell a story?
- How did you make this project (process)? Be descriptive.
- What materials did you use in your project?
- 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)?
- Did you have any influences?
Two good examples:
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.
