What reflective elements do you see in this artists statement? What kind of things do they discuss that are reflective in nature?
A large part of your grade in this unit is the Writers Statement (See part 2 on your assignment sheet). An artists statement, or a writers statement, is a kind of reflection. In order to craft an effective statement, the artist must first reflect on the work theyve done, the choices they made, and the previous work/experience that led to this moment. For that reason, I want to pause and discuss why we write reflections and what makes a good reflection. This assignment is meant to help you understand the Writers Statement so that you can do well on the assignment.Task:For this assignment, you should first read Reflection Handout PDFActions about comprehensive reflections.
