BE HONEST. It matters not what you make, but rather how you make.
1. Write a detailed description of your ideal studio.
2. Use the portrait of yourself to write about the following:
- what you see when you look at the self portrait.
- what you think other people would see if they looked at it.
-what the portrait doesn't show about you.
3. Recount your earliest memory of making art. How does that moment from the past relate to who you are as an artist today?
4. Write an imaginary dialogue or conversation between someone who might not like your work and someone who does.
5. There is an ancient saying(attributed by Plutarch to Simonides of ceos that poetry is a speaking picture and painting is a silent or mute poem.
For this exercise, imagine that your work is not silent. Imagine it can speak. What would it say? To whom would it have something to say? Write a monologue whose speaker is your visual work.
6. Write an imaginary interview. It could be a reporter doing a piece for the school newspaper or The New York Times. It could be a filmaker making a documentary about you. It could be a writer from an art magazine doing a feature about you.
7. Select a work of non-visual art (a poem, a piece of music, a dance) and write about parallels between that work and your own visual art.
