Writing Artist Statements

Portfolio Organization and Digital Portfolio Reflections


For each new assignment you will create a new page in your Digital Portfolio.

These pages should include a high quality image that is cropped so the entire artwork is visible as well as your artist statement/reflection.

Your artist statement should serve to answer the questions...What did you do (a description of the project and your product)? How did you do It (analyze your use of the elements and principles of art and your process)? Why did you make certain artistic decisions?

And, finally, how successful do you think the finished product is (what are your favorite parts, what did you struggle with what might you do differently next time)?
