Do Now
Do Next | Artist Statement An artist statement is the written description of your project. The statement describes what was made, how it was made and why it was made in a formal written composition in order for the audience to understand the your point of view about the studied topic. Format: The artist statement should be a typed paragraph in length. It is written using Arial, 11-point font, and single spaced. Since it is single spaced, paragraphs should not be indented. While it is acceptable to use first-person “I” in an artist statement, do so sparingly. Remember the artist statement is about getting your audience to consider their own understanding of your work. This might be hard to do if you keep telling them through your writing what you think. Student Examples Questions:

Workshop | 9:05-9:20 Everyone NOT in GrtWTGo around: Think about a time that you felt lonely. Not alone, but that deep feeling of loneliness. You do not need to share out about that time, but think about a metaphor that represents that feeling. It could be a color, an object, an adjective... Last week we talked about the physical symptoms of Parkinson's, but something we don't always think about is the mental and emotional aspects of a terminal disease. Our facilitator for today's film shared this: Research indicates that loneliness is deadly. Did you know that loneliness is the number one predictable factor in Parkinson’s patients longevity or longevity in the elderly altogether? Discussion: Why might this be true?
