Peer Editing the Artist Statement
1) Read the statement once, quickly
2) Read the statement again, this time carefully- do not ask the artist questions or for clarification
3) Finally, write and share comments with artist by using this format:
- What are the general, large statements of the statement- don't worry about grammar, puntuation, or spelling
- What is the most interesting part of the statement, what surprised you, what jumped out at you- Pick one sentence!
- What concerns do you have for the statement- is something unclear, does it get to the point, is there a clear point, too long, too short, Pick something to cut or clarify
- What would you do to the statement to make it stronger? Help guide statement toward clarification, add ideas/ sentences, delete sentences not needed.
