Teaching Artist: Elena Bachrach

Perhaps while attending an art opening or creatives’ networking event, you have heard it mentioned, and perhaps you pushed the possibility of writing your own artist statement to the margins of your thinking. Until now. By taking this course students will have the opportunity to work independently and together to craft a polished artist statement. During each class students will be led through an exercise (or more than one), and each day will build on the prior day’s work completing the course with a professional artist statement. Starting with free writing, students will move through the remaining classes with increasingly specific assignments, building blocks, designed to shape their own artist statement. Work will include active class participation, writing, and sharing writing for group discussion. Students will complete the course with their own artist statement in hand as well as practical artist’s resources to help expand the visibility, understanding, and appreciation of their art.
