Answer artist statement

Steps to writing an artist statement

  1. First paragraph: Tell the reader why you make art. Support with information about yourself and your goals.
    -examples:
    • Are you in school?
    • What do you want to be when you get older?

  2. Second paragraph: Tell the reader how you make decisions about the art you create. How and why do you select materials, techniques, and themes? Keep it simple.
    -examples:
    • Describe what you like: favorite color, favorite art material, favorite subject.
    • Where do you get your ideas?
    • Do you have a favorite subject or artist?
    • Any other information about you - the artist.

  3. Third paragraph: Tell the reader a little more about your current work. How it grew out of prior work or life experiences.
    -examples:
    • How have your artistic abilities grown?
    • This is the paragraph to talk about your choices for the piece of artwork you have created.


Tip: Use present tense when writing ("I am," not "I was;" "I do," not "I did"). Say nice things about yourself -- brag. :)

(hope that helps you out!)
