An Artist Statement is a brief, but specific explanation of your artwork in which you address the what , the why and the how. It should be at least 100 words long, but you are always welcome to write more. The more information you provide within your artist statement, the better your audience will understand your intentions as an artist. Please use complete sentences along with grammar and spell-check. You can defer to the vocabulary index to help you with identifying and utilizing visual arts vocabulary that may be relevant to your statement.
Please address the following in your Artist Statement:
1. Explain your process (medium and technique). How was it made? Which art materials and approached did you use and why?
2. Describe the idea behind your artwork. What story or message does it get across? What does it mean to you?
3. Why did you create it? What are your reasons for creating that specific art piece? What do you want your audience to feel and think while observing it?
