Writing an artist\u2019s statement should be one of the first steps in developing your portfolio. Doing so will make image selection and all that follows much easier than waiting until the end. Here is a brief \u201chow-to\u201d. The following information is summarized from&nbsp; \u2013<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ebsqart.com\/Education\/Articles\/Business-and-Marketing\/14\/How-to-Artist-Statement\/75\/\">https:\/\/www.ebsqart.com\/Education\/Articles\/Business-and-Marketing\/14\/How-to-Artist-Statement\/75\/<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>What is an Artist\u2019s Statement?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>An artist\u2019s statement is a short document written by the artist which provides a window into the artist\u2019s world. It offers insight into a single piece or an entire body of work and by describing the artist\u2019s creative process, philosophy, vision, and passion. It enlightens and engages while at the same time giving the audience \u2013 potential buyers, exhibition curators, critics, fellow artists, or casual browsers \u2013the freedom to draw their own conclusions. An artist\u2019s statement reads easily, is informative, and adds other understanding of the artist.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What isn\u2019t an Artist\u2019s Statement?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>An artist\u2019s statement is not a r\u00e9sum\u00e9, a biography, a list of accomplishments and awards, a summary of exhibitions, or a catalogue of works. It is not insignificant and should not be hastily written. It is not difficult to understand, pretentious, irritating, or (gasp!) laugher-provoking.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How long should it be?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Remember that people usually don\u2019t have the patience to spend a lot of time reading, so it\u2019s better to err on the shorter side. Several sources recommend an artist\u2019s statement be around 100 words.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An artist\u2019s statement should be included with your portfolio.
