ARTST STATEMENT

WRITTEN STATEMENT

Your written statement is considered an important part of the portfolio. Evaluation is based upon signs of a student’s potential for 

joining theory and practice in his or her creative activity. While criteria for evaluation are difficult to measure in art practices, the 

written statement helps provide a basis for evaluation in each area.

Written Statements Should:

• Include comments on your art background, your reasons for choosing to concentrate in art, some of the ideas in which you 

are currently interested, and indications of future areas you would like to explore.

• Address your recent (college) art background (as opposed to your childhood experiences in art)
