Icon Artist Statement Opening and Closing

In a continuum of American icons, I feel that the majority of them could be considered inspirational to certain people. I think that whether or not someone or something is an icon is a matter of opinion. What some may consider to be an inspiring icon might be disliked and uninspiring in another person's opinion. I don't think one person can create a list of official American icons it's based entirely on someone's own opinion.

In my opinion most of the people I consider to be icons are movie directors, animators and or artists. One person I consider an icon is an animator and director named Don Bluth. I first saw one of his movies when I was about five years old. It was on TV and I had no idea what it was at the time, but I loved it. In my opinion Don Bluth's work is very inspiring.

1. I chose this opening because it states that whether someone or something is an icon or not depends on opinion and the closing describes who I consider an icon.

2. I stated that whether someone or something is an icon or not depends on opinion.

3. I would hope that someone who read my artist statement would have liked it.
