Final Project - Due June 4th

The Final Project is where it all comes together. Your subject should be something that is meaningful to you - but used in a manner that can be relevant and meaningful to others.

I'll be meeting with you individually to help you figure out the details of size, materials, presentation etc. Bring work on Tuesday to get that discussion going!

Each project will include an Artist Statement: 

Artist's Statement is written after you've created the project. It is there to help the viewer have a sense of how they should look at the work - it also helps you start to figure out what the work is about. It must be typed out and will sit with the work during the final critique.

Section 1:
This is your thesis. What you wanted to do and why. You explain how the project came to be, what your initial motivation was.

Section 2:
Here is where you discuss how you completed the project. What the process was, what worked and what didn't. Ideally, we learn from our art as we make it. Those realizations would be in this section.

Section 3:
Your summary of the final product. An honest and straightforward appraisal of the work now that you're done.
