WP3: Statement of Purpose

My meta-purpose of writing this letter is to earn a good grade in my class and learn in the process. My purposes within writing the letter will be to include "descriptive observations about the sculpture, reflections, meditations, and insights that the aforementioned observations stimulate, and filter both the observations and reflections through a specific aesthetic-conceptual paradigm." This letter is to be read aloud for its final presentation.

My primary audience for this presentation will be the sculpture Superstructure on 4, to whom the letter will be addressed. Inanimate objects are not typical audiences to communication. In this case, Superstructure on 4 will serve as a port to communicate to art in the complete sense including past and future processes and implementations of particular techniques and concepts.

My first secondary audience will be my professor for whom I will be writing and presenting this letter for the goal of receiving a good grade in my class which has prescribed it writing. For this audience I will try to implement discussions of the techniques and themes that have been talked about in general and in specific regards to my chosen sculpture.

My next secondary audience will be my class who will all witness my verbal presentation of my letter to my sculpture. One of them in particular will read my a draft of my letter in a digital context as a peer-review. For this audience I will try not to be unintentionally embarrassing.

My final secondary audience contains all who may happen upon my letter or its presentation. Like the past two writing projects, this one will remain online, posted on my public blog for any and all to read. The verbal presentation also creates for a small group a much higher probability to its exposure whether just noticing or, less likely, actively paying attention although in regards to my presentation this will still be a random selection. For this audience I will try to make my letter and presentation more universally relatable (this will be even easier than the last two projects which had a heavier reliance on a particular wording).

The primary context of my letter will be its final presentation, being read aloud by myself outdoors in front of my selected sculpture outside the Sheldon. For this I will practice at least a little reading my letter aloud making sure everything sounds right when verbalized and further familiarizing myself with its content for more fluid presentation. My letter will have a secondary context of being posted on my blog where it can be viewed by anyone. For this context, additional hyperlinks and multimedia elements will be included that would be superfluous in the verbal presentation.
