Writing for Visual Artists: How to Write an Author's Note
 |
Description
Book Introduction
The author's note is the first stepping stone connecting with the world.
The work and the artist's notes are closely connected, like the front and rear wheels of a bicycle, and move the artist forward.
I'll show you how to express your voice in everyday language, without complicated theories or concepts.
I recommend this to these people.
An artist struggling to write an artist's note before an exhibition
Artists who want to express their work in vivid language
A creator who ponders the communication between the work and the audience.
People who want to understand their work and themselves more deeply through writing

Publisher's Review
Author's Note
“I didn’t know writing a writer’s note would be this difficult.
“I was so immersed in the work, but when I was asked to write it down, I felt lost.”
I hear this a lot.
Every time I meet writers.
But actually, you already have everything you need to write a writer's note.
I just didn't know how to put it into words.
This book is based on conversations and lectures I've had with authors over the years.
We've tried to avoid complex theories or difficult concepts as much as possible, and only include methods that are actually helpful.
Please read it comfortably as if we were sitting across from each other in a cafe and talking.
