Included in the final grade for your PaperWord drawing   (Ed Ruscha is your mentor for this one, remember?) you must create what is known as an ARTIST STATEMENT. Answer the questions provided in sentence form and post under a CROPPED picture of your drawing. AGAIN, this counts as 20 pts.of your grade.

 ARTIST STATEMENT

IN A PARAGRAPH FORM - CREATE AN ARTIST STATEMENT FOR EACH WORK THAT ADDRESSES THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:

· WHAT WERE MY GOALS AND INTENTIONS IN THIS ARTWORK?

·         HOW DID I ACCOMPLISH THEM?

·         WHAT SURPRISED ME THE MOST ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE DOING THIS DRAWING?

·         What is my drawing ABOUT? (value, shading, shadows composition,etc?)

· WHAT WAS THE MOST DIFFICULT CHALLENGE I HAD TO FACE?

·         HOW DID I MEET THAT CHALLENGE?

·         IN WHAT WAYS DID I EXPERIENCE THE SHIFT TO RIGHT BRAIN ARTTISTIC THINKING?

· WHERE DOES MY DRAWING REALLY WORK?

· WHAT ARE SOME THINGS HAVE I LEARNED THAT I CAN BRING INTO MY NEXT DRAWING

· NAME ANOTHER ARTIST IN THE CLASS AND DESCRIBE SOMETHING YOU LEARNED FROM THEM (EVEN IF YOU DIDN’T DO IT)

· IF I HAD A DO-OVER WHAT WOULD I DO?

· WHAT DO YOU FEEL IS THE BEST THING ABOUT YOUR WORK?
