The aspect of the American Icons artist statement that has been most successful for me is probably the intro. I understood the full concept of how we are supposed to start off the loop and I could find something that was relatable to what I was talking about. The writing tips that have been most helpful are the loop and make meaning early. The loop helps with starting off without a hook but still making it interesting, and make meaning early helps in the body of the artist statement to keep the reader reading.
The part that is most challenging for me is the outro because it is hard for me to tie it back to the intro well. The writing tip that I think is challenging is also the loop because its difficult to have everything tie together but also be unrelated in a way.
I became more interested in social injustices and one day when I was doing research on the kind of work UNICEF does, I saw a picture of an elegant but aged Audrey Hepburn. I decided to Google Audrey Hepburn and her work for UNICEF and read that she had dedicated a good portion of her life to helping less fortunate children around the world. Instantly my favorite actress was not only an actress to me, but a real human being with a big heart. Her work changed not only the children’s lives, but also their families, and people connected to their families. Some people think that if something does not directly affect them it isn’t their problem, but that’s false. I believe that things going on in the other side of the world affect everyone. One of the wisest quotes I have heard was actually said by Audrey Hepburn and she said, “The 'Third World' is a term I don't like very much, because we're all one world. I want people to know that the largest part of humanity is suffering".
What is UNICEF, Who is Audrey Hepburn, and What did Audrey Hepburn specifically do?
