Rough Draft of Artist Statement
1.Arts have been a part of me my whole life. I have always found myself within the work of creating and appreciating art. It is who I am today. I Am an artist. I started studying art when I was 10 years old. I took advanced art classes and when it came time to talk about ancient artifacts in history class I was all ears. Also, playing the piano since I was 5 years old, taking dancing classes, being the soloist of my school and part of the city’s choir played a huge part. Being so in touch with all different forms of art is so beautiful. So for me a museum is an Arts home. While living in New York City there’s huge access to many amazing museums. I Am a regular at the Met Museum and many other small museums in New York, but I have to say that The Met is what raised this interest in me wanting to learn more about this topic. It was September 2018, my aunt was visiting me from France and she decided to take me to the Met. Upon arriving at The Met I remember being so excited, one because I got to skip school and two because I was going to look at art, my passion. I remember that day like it was yesterday, and experience all the emotions I went through all over again. Now six years later I still get that feeling because even though the world outside has changed everything inside is still the same.We all know how popular The Met is and how many people from all over the world visit, along with many other museums, such as MoMa, American Museum of Natural History and many others in all five boroughs. This is all my background information. My purpose of making this project is to get more in touch with the audience and combine all these different pieces of information in one and create art at the very end. My audience is artists and museum collectors. It’s important to reach out to young artists and future collectors , as they’re just starting to dive into this interest. I see my piece being distributed in bookstores, libraries etcetera. I choose this genre because I as an artist would love to have this. A magazine would give you the opportunity to include more color and visuals, making it engaging for my audience. It could also be sentimental and something that can be passed down to generations.
- First I plan to start with gathering more information and maybe find some examples that I can refer to. I’m a little bit worried about it not being boring while including enough information. As well as not including a lot of words and many visual examples because that is how artists learn and work best. Then I come to a conclusion as to what I want my final to be. I decided to choose a magazine. When speaking to my professor in regards to making a physical copy of my magazine or a digital copy we came to the conclusion of it being digital. First thing I would do is work on the cover. The cover it’s what’s going to attract the consumer so choosing something pleasing to the eye and that is very likable is key. I want it to be chic and well thought. Moving on to the pages of where i will be publishing my own articles, I will start by making placements. Since I am a bachelors of architecture major, the first thing that comes to mind is using InDesign ( architectural design software). I am advanced in the software and I believe it’s the best way for me to achieve my project. Then I would take in all the research that I have and do a survey with my friends and family in order to choose what to include in the magazine. I think this is really helpful since it will give me a different point of views from other people. I think this will be really helpful because it won’t leave me panicking and rather enjoying the process. Lastly, I would upload my file on a pdf and present it to my professor.
