Part 1:
My Artist's Statement has many different elements: The Bible, God, Jesus, the founding fathers, the Revolution, the USA, the diversity of the colonists, etc. all of which tie into being an American. The Bible is an icon of my Christian beliefs in God and Jesus, and their commandments that have shaped me and my goals. The Revolution, founding fathers, United States of America, and colonial diversity represents my deep connection with the people of Early America and the laws that shaped our country. My Christian beliefs and multicultural background connects me to the colonists that decided to stand up for their God-given rights and rebel against tyranny. I am continuing the legacy of the colonists by upholding my beliefs even when everyone around me thinks differently and even puts down my faith. In addition, my Thai and Italian heritage links me to the diverse backgrounds of the colonists; but what they could all agree on was Britain's injustice and their natural rights as human beings created by God. I am glad to know that the Bible was an integral part of America's fundamental ideology and feel I am doing what the colonists would have done if they were in my shoes. I will not give up in the face of the world, but will stand by what I know is the truth.
