Mid-Program Statement

Per the grad handbook: the statement addresses intent, influences, context within the field, and visual and technical explorations. This statement is the first thing your review committee looks at. While they may not really look at your process book, your committee will read this statement and may come with questions based on it. On of my committee members had my statement sitting in front of him the whole time and referred back to it throughout.

So, take time to make this statement true to your work, easily understood, and have it edited! A sure way to make your review go badly is by making this statement sound smart (bigger words are not necessarily better!) and talk about things that are not in your work or that you don't fully understand...they will call you out on it.

Throughout this whole process as long as you stay true to what you believe, are thinking about, are looking at, etc. you will be fine.
