Artist Statement
Hi my name is Monte Delmar Fredericks and I am a Graphic Arts student here at Fort Berthold Community College. I would like to take this time to write about a few thoughts of mine concerning the graphic arts.
Although the Graphic arts are relatively new I feel that in being an artist in this field I am pioneering the frontier in the graphic arts.
Using the Graphic arts I believe that I have begun to accomplish an idea of what just goes into the making of a piece of art, weather it is in the artistic realm or the commercial.
Graphic arts has also allowed me to breathe life into my old traditional art styles and I feel that this has helped me to honor and preserve some part of my traditions.
I feel that the Graphic Arts technology course here at Fort Berthold Community College has better prepared me for a more complete success in the greater world.
I believe that art is a way to visually represent ones own thoughts and ideas, as such art has personal and public power to convey ideas, help shape dreams, and continue the circle we call life.
My personal style of art varies greatly as does the mediums I use to create said art, such as Graphic Arts, Drawing, Painting, Traditional Art, and Non- Traditional arts. With this variance comes creativity on my behalf.
Thank you for taking the time to read my artist statement. Mah zah git tahs.
