Portfolio Artist Statement
Your artist statement should be a personal reflection of your work and should address the WHAT, HOW, and WHY of your work. Below is a list of prompts for you to consider. You should try to answer every prompt, although choose the ones that are the most important and relevant to you and focus the most on those. Write in paragraph form - do not answer them in a list! There is no particular order for these answers, and some questions can be combined. Think of it as a narrative. Use your own voice, and be creative!
