The statement should summarize these things in as few words as possible, preferably short ones, and not a lengthy prediction of your place in the future history of art. A paragraph or two consisting of 250 to 300 words is plenty long.

- What subjects do you prefer? Why?
- What processes and techniques do you use? Why?
- How is your work different from others?
- What do you see in your artwork?
- What do other people say they see?
- What are your goals as an artist?
- Who or what inspires you?
