I understand that an artist
statement is a two or three paragraph description about art work that provides
the reader with information about artists’ sources, ideas, and inspiration. It
should be present insightful information about process and answer questions
viewers might have when looking at artists’ work. It is a valuable tool
providing an additional connection between artist and audience, it also creates
the opportunity for art work to be more fully considered and appreciated. The
artist statement will become a page of text on website or accompany an
exhibition of work. It should be use formal languages and specific opinions to
support your art works.

ReplyDeleteI think this is a great summary of what an artist statement should aim for. It seems simple, right?
ReplyDeleteBe careful with your use of the verb "be" with other verbs. You have "it should be present...information" and "it should be use... language".
should + base form of verb (one only)
For example:
You should present information.
It should be good.
You should use formal language.
