Proposed Artist’s Statement Lesson Strategy

Week 1
--Pose a question: “What is an artist’s statement?”
--Get them to ask themselves some questions:
• “What do you like best about what you do?”
• “What do you want people to think when they see your work?”
--Every time that they are working, tell them to jot down certain words or phrases,
which explains their experience, in their sketchbooks.
--Have artist think about their technique and process as they work.
Week 2
--Ask them to share their words /phrases that they have in their sketchbooks with us.
Then we will help them take those words/ phases and transform them into
articulated sentences.
Hope to find a good collection.
**As for plans for the other weeks, lets base it off how successful the first two
weeks are and then create a plan from based on observations of those weeks.
