Artist Statements

What I am most amazed by is how well our students openly discuss each others work. It is hard to critique something that so many have worked so hard on.

With the change in art direction for display on exhibition, I expect you all are a bit confused about what to write and for those of you who read this here are some thoughts.

For the rough draft of your science component I would like you to create an artist statement about the science in your project...Why did you chose the topic you did? Why is it important? Is there a call to action you would like to leave with your audience? What have you found out that you are most amazed by? What most needs to be changed by the human species?

Include your bibliography...and look at your sources! Are they credible? Do they strengthen your thesis?
