With Assignment # 3 due on Wednesday June 7th, your Artist’s Statement is more important than ever: this is the last piece of writing I’ll be reading from you this term! Especially if you’re writing fiction or creating a comic for Assignment # 3, make sure you’re taking full advantage of the additional opportunity to show me your close reading skills through your Artist’s Statement!

- a 600 word artist statement.
This artist statement should include answers to the following questions:

What specific panels of Ms. Marvel inspired the type of project you created?

What did you learn through this project?

What, if any, role did class discussions and your peers play in your project?
If you had another week to work on your project, what would you do with it? How would you change it?
What will you take with you from this project into future projects?
The last thing you want to tell your audience before they dive into your project is…
