Even though you have no formal homework to complete for next week's first class (Mon or Tue), you might want to start working on your Artist Statement. You will cut and paste your revised and edited text on the Discussion board for your class. It's exactly the same rhythm as our week with the Artist Profile.
The year is still 2033. Your statement should go into detail with the motivations, meanings, and intentions of your artwork. It should be two long or three short paragraphs and have around 250 words. Try to address "why" questions. Yes, it might get a little bit philosophical. Remember that this is an exercise. Have fun.
We will go deep into all of this next week.
Here are a couple of online resources:
500 Letters Artist Statement Generator. This generator, like the fake Michaelangelo statement, is meant to poke fun at the pretentious and BS language that some art writing can fall into.
