Project | Book Review A strong book review critically evaluates the makings of the novel. As the writer, it is not your job to summarize the book.

Student Examples Book Reviews Do Next | Artist Statement + éPortfolio Publication 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 page in length. It is written using Arial, 11-point font, and single spaced. Since it is single spaced, paragraphs should not be indented, but instead have an extra space between each paragraph (consider my past two paragraphs in this syllabus!). 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. Questions:
