Artist Statement _ Color Trip (part 2)

Artist Statement.

For the Color Trip assignment we will be writing a short artist statement about our Travel Posters.

What are artist statements?

Artist statements are short (generally one page) statements that cover the basics about your art, or a work of art you have created.  Some of the things you might want to include in your artist statement include.

WHY YOU MAKE YOUR ART?
WHAT INSPIRES YOU TO MAKE IT?
WHAT IT SIGNIFIES OR REPRESENTS?
WHAT'S UNIQUE OR SPECIAL ABOUT HOW YOU MAKE IT?
 and briefly, What does it man to you? 

Since these are probably things that you haven't considered so much at this point in your artistic career, we are going to start off slow.  YOU WILL WRITE many many artist statements while you are at MCA.  For this particular statement however, we will be writing about the travel poster. 

For the statement please include:

1. The destination that you picked. 
2. The subject matter that you have selected to use in your compositions to represent your space and possibly how you have arranged this subject matter (design)
3.  The color choices you have made and the way you have used color to effectively convey this destination in your travel poster.   Here is an example from a previous semester:
