"Artist Statement & Critiques"

The feedback that i received was very helpful. I didn't notice that i was writing more about him then me and that i should reflect on my self more and talk about who am i? to have a more captivating intro and grasp the reader instantly and to have more body paragraphs to have more quotes. Although i did have some things to change i also fond out that my paragraphs flowed well together, and planned one of my quotes well in my sentences.

goals and ideas that i have for artist statement is try to achieve the powerful message that chandler made in his artist statement.

MY NEW DRAFT

John F. Kennedy a visionary, “ ask not what your country can do for you, ask what can you do for your country” bringing everyone together as one. Impacting people to have a better understanding of their country. If Americas history has shown us anything it is that our future is a reflection of our past leaders.

It has been about 13 years since I started getting into my countries history. The 8^th grade is when I got into my history class we had to write a report of Americas hard times and visionaries. Sitting at my computer wondering what I could write about, one person came to mind, “ John F. Kennedy”.

I started to wonder in what ways he changed things, searching for research and articles about him. Inspiring many powerful people such as Martin Luther king Jr. which caused many civil right movements. Although we were taught about MLK and JFK it never really dawned on me until now how much of an impact they each had. Time went backwards as if memories of all the movements and segregation people went through drinking from different water fountains, going to different schools. Seeing how people tried to break there spirits and hopes, but even then people stood up and fought for what they believed in, all because of John F. Kennedy who wanted civil rights. An icon for all Americans past, present and future.

I would agree with all the things JFK did, i would have done the same thing as anyone else would if they felt strongly about this situation. John F. Kennedy was a man of success and a man of the people
