DIGITAL IMAGING
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
Project/Image Title
SEMESTER, YEAR
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
In this space, describe the intent of the assignment/visual problem and the process(es) you employed to complete your work. Whenever possible, cite/use specific historical/visual references. This part of your statement should be limited to a complete “just the facts", step-by-step listing of everything you did from start to finish (narrative). Imagine how you would describe what you did to somebody who had no understanding of the digital imaging process and just came into the lab from the hallway. Don’t assume the audience will know what you included or suggested in your image.
Essential Questions to Answer…
What medium/media did you use?
How did you prepare for the final work?
What processes did you go through while developing your ideas?
What kind of planning did you do? (books, Internet research, posters, etc.)

ARTIST’S REFLECTION
This is your opportunity to highlight the strength areas and successes of your work. Explain what you learned. This is also the place to discuss those areas which were not as successful as you had hoped and how you learned from those challenges also. Be honest with yourself. Do not attempt to invent some sort of “artistic bluff”. An honest, candid assessment of your work and the process you undertook to produce it will help you, me, and the viewer to more clearly understand your work and the learning that occurred during the activity.
