Over the six weeks of this course, students will draft and revise their own artist's statements. We will discuss participants’ work and intent and define each person's interest in concept, medium, and subject matter. Examples of statements by influential painters, photographers, and mixed media artists will be reviewed. We will also consider the audiences for artists' statements and the different purposes for which they may be needed. By the end of the course, students will have completed relevant, well-crafted versions of short and long artist's statements expressing their individual involvement with art.
The online environment is uniquely suited to this course. Enrollment will be limited to three to five students ensuring each person ample opportunity to define and refine concepts in relation to his/her work. Students should plan to upload five images of their work for the first class.

Please note: While we will repeatedly be reviewing work throughout the course apropos of individual artist statements, this is not a generalized critique course. Students primarily interested in developing or refining a body of work should consider an Online Independent Study.
