The purpose of writing an artist statement is to help your audience understand the meaning in your visual work and the process you went through to create it. While artist statements in galleries can be a little shorter than what you write here, you are showing your understanding of photographic techniques, process, language and audiences.

1. You should start with a page in your Google site that shows your final project, series or creation. Make sure that all of your visual work has been inserted and that you have created a title for the entire work. You may wish to also individually label images or designs.

2. Make your own copy of the scaffold below. Fill in each box of the scaffold, based on the final series you have created.

3. Remember, I cannot see your copy of the scaffold. Answers should be copied in to your Google site. 

4. Copy your answers from the scaffold into the page you have created and format it as full paragraphs instead of answers to questions in boxes.

5. Create an APA format reference list at the end.

Note: You could instead create voice notes for each of the parts of the scaffold. If you choose this option, make sure you are still addressing all of the required information. APA reference list will still need to be provided in text form.

Just below, you can see an example of how I have written answers within the scaffold you have been provided.

Once I filled all of the sections, I then copied my answers on to a Google site page which showed all of my images and structured the artist statement as sentences. You can see what a final artist statement should be formatted like here.
