15A Artist's Statement
Full Instructions
1. You will engage with the presented design traditions & philosophies, examine various design quotes thoughtfully and analytically from a Christian perspective, and craft your own final artist’s statement/designer’s principle arising from your faith as it informs and shapes your personal philosophy of design. (You may check the two Pinterest boards provided in the Announcements and at the very bottom of this page for additional help and examples. )
You can use first person ("I believe design should be simple / I like simplicity.")
or third person ("Judith believes design should be simple / She likes simplicity.")
to create your statement, but do not mix the two.
The statement should be short and clear - between 50 – 200 words.
2. Your statement should be presented as a creative object designed to reflect your personal aesthetic principles , in roughly A5 size. It could resemble a large business card or art postcard which you might hand out to prospective clients . . . but it does not need to be paper, or rectangular, or even flat. It can be 2-D or 3-D (but if three-dimensional, please keep in mind that it should not be too bulky or hard for your client to keep/store/access!)
3. It must have your name in English. It should have your contact information (phone, email, website, etc. can be fake!) as well as your class name and student number. You do not need to include the rubric. Be creative, and use your own choice of fonts, but make sure the text of your statement, and your usual identification, are all clear and readable. Card, wood, metal, plastic, cookie dough, etc. are all acceptable, but please stay within the size requirements. NOTE: for Fall 2020, you are also allowed to design this object digitally, and include any instructions on how it should be created, printed, presented, etc.
4. Photograph it from various angles (at least back and front!) if you have designed it physically and pin the photos to your Pinterest board. If digitally, pin the digital images and any instructions. Finally, submit the links to your Portfolio and the Student Gallery.

"Judith believes in recycling, repurposing, and reusing
the ordinary materials around her to create art. Firstly, it's good for the environment. Secondly, it encourages others to see the potential for creativity everywhere. And thirdly, she believes that her medium (trash, waste, natural objects, leftovers, scraps) should match her message: despite the hardships we go through in life and the scars we may bear, people are never garbage, but instead are precious, unique, pieces of art." |
