Issues with Artist Statements

Okay, I don't know if it's just my luck, but I've been looking and looking and none of the artists who I feel have either a congruent style to my own, or have inspired my art in the past don't seem to have any artist statements available... Some have published interviews, and some have biographies, but no luck with artist statements. I have looked up Tarsem Singh (the director of The Cell, and The Fall), I have looked up Luis Royo, Glenn Rane (concept artist and illustrator for the Warcraft Franchise, Starcraft and Diablo), Serge Birault, Mukesh Singh (Illustrated Grant Morrison's graphic novel "18 Days"), and even Jim Henson and and Hayaho Miyazaki only have Biographies and Interviews available. *sigh*

Welcome to THE SEMINAR

Fall semester, 2011, marks the beginning of the final two semesters of your undergraduate careers. There will be many things to discuss, consider, and act on in the course of this seminar. Unfortunately, though, the actual time we'll have together is very short, 50 minutes twice a week. That's hardly enough time to actually be a seminar, so we'll be utilizing this forum a lot. Each of you have been authorized to post on this site, and after signing up to become a "Follower", each of you can also respond to and contribute to each others posts through discussions. Many of you have been 'followers' of my other three blogs, Intalyo, Images and Ideas, and IUSARTCAR, so you know how easy it is to maneuver in this arena. So get on board and let the semester begin.

You'll be doing some writing this semester, such as constructing a resume and creating an artist's statement about your work; you'll learn how to document your creative work in a workshop with Jonathon Ruth; you'll create a PowerPoint presentation about your work to present to the rest of the group; you'll create a collaborative project, a tradition with past seminars, such as a group exhibit in an alternative space, or a site-specific installation, an artcar, stop action video, performance...lots of options. There will also be a post-test of essential vocabulary. Remember, you did the pre-test back when you entered the program. Finally, you'll submit a CD that contains examples of your work, your resume, and your artist's statement. It's going to be a busy semester!

Enjoy the final morsels of summer and I'll see you on August 30.
