Write an article based on this "Ask yourself some questions. Write down your ideas. Mind-map your ideas. Read some examples. Talk to your friends."
article: Before you can write your statement, you should ask yourself some important questions. Your statement is your chance to discuss your art process, your ideas, and how your art fits in the field. Be honest with yourself as you answer these questions: What are my influences (e.g. personal, historical, theoretical, cultural)? What themes, ideas, and subjects are in my art? What do I do? How do I do it? Why do I it? What do I want other people to understand about my art? Is there anything about my art that I do not want to discuss? Why? Set a timer for 15 minutes and write down your responses to these questions. If your responses lead you down another path, write about those things as well. This exercise helps you move your ideas from your head to a piece of paper. You can incorporate drawings into this writing process as well. It may be helpful to target your writing to one specific question instead of trying to answer multiple questions. For example, you may choose to write about why you use oil to paint. You can also write on multiple pieces of art paper instead of a notebook so that you can rearrange your ideas and make them more visual. A mind map is a visual diagram that lets you connect information to once central idea. Think of it as an idea tree. Write the answer to one of your questions in the middle of the page. The you can use arrows or dotted lines for all of the answers to your questions. All of the arrows and/or dotted lines do not have to connect to the center of the diagram. Some of them may connect to each other. You can also use pictures or drawings to communicate your thoughts and answers. Reading examples of good and poorly written artist's statements can help you craft your statement. Pay special attention to artists whose work is similar to yours and artists that you admire. You may want to read examples after you have finished brainstorming. This will help you format your ideas without being influenced by others. Check out books, exhibition catalogs, and periodicals to find examples. If you are in school, ask your teacher for examples or talk to a librarian. Take note of the phrasing that people use to describe their work. It can be hard to write about your art. Display your art and invite some of your friends over. Video and/or audio record the conversation so you can listen to it later. You should also take notes during the discussion. Pay special attention to any questions and critiques about your work. These things are often what people really want to know about your work. Consider discussing your work with both artists and non-artists. This will allow you to see your art from multiple perspectives. Another option is to have a friend interview you about your work.

Write an article based on this "Collect the ginger syrup and sugar. Use ginger syrup as a spicy substitute for white sugar. Make a quick ginger ale. Drizzle it on breakfast items and desserts. Create a DIY cough syrup."
article: When you place the ginger on the cooling rack to dry, the baking sheet below will catch any excess syrup that drips off. Similarly, when you toss the ginger in sugar, any excess sugar will collect at the bottom of the bowl. Both ginger syrup and sugar can be used in drinks, baking, and other recipes. Collect the syrup when the ginger cools and no more excess is dripping off. Remove the baking tray from under the cooling rack and transfer the syrup to an airtight container. After you transfer the sugared ginger slices back to the cooling rack, transfer any leftover sugar from the bottom of the bowl to an airtight container. Ginger sugar can be substituted for regular sugar in any recipe you like. Because the ginger sugar has been in contact with real ginger, it will have a spicy tang to it that will flavor other products. Ginger sugar can be used in hot drinks like tea and cold drinks like lemonade. You can also use ginger sugar to coat the rim of glasses when you make cocktails. Ginger sugar makes a great addition to baked goods as well. Simply sprinkle the ginger sugar on top of cookies or muffins in place of regular sugar. While true ginger ale is made with fermented ginger, you can make your own quick version by combining ginger syrup and soda water. Fill a tall glass with ice, pour in some soda water, and stir in some ginger syrup, to taste. If you have your own drink carbonator, you can also make your own ginger flavored soda water from scratch. Ginger syrup is a delicious and spicy substitute for maple syrup or honey. You can drizzle ginger syrup on pancakes, waffles, ice cream, fruit, and other breakfast and dessert favorites. A homemade cough syrup won't get rid of your cold, but it will help to soothe your throat. Next time you're whipping up a batch, use ginger sugar in place of the sugar, or add a drizzle of syrup to the batch for some extra spice.

article:
Hold the tape measure on the natural hairline and run it back to where you want your lace front piece to stop. The length of your lace front piece is up to you. Next, measure from side to side. Hold the tape measure just in front of one ear, where the hairline ends. Wrap the tape measure over the head, to the same spot in front of the opposite ear. To get the most accurate measurement of the head, you'll need to flatten the hair. You can wet the hair to flatten it, or put your hair in a flat style, such as corn rows. Take a piece of plastic wrap large enough to fit over the head. Wrap it tightly over the top part of the head. Keep it as tight as possible, and fasten it at the back. Apply clear adhesive tape to the plastic wrap to begin forming the pattern. Start by taping from side to side. Secure a piece of tape over one ear, and run the tape over the top of the head to the other ear. Make sure the plastic wrap is secure, but not too tight. Tape from front to back. Cover the entire head with tape until the pattern feels rigid. Trace the hairline using a soft pencil. Start in the front and go just over the ears. Tape over the pencil to keep it from erasing or smudging. Carefully remove the pattern from the head and prepare to pin it to your wig block. Take some stuffing and place it in the pattern. Place the pattern on a wig block and secure it using balled straight pins. Once the pattern is secure on the block, go back through and add straight pins along the hairline. . Use the pattern to measure a piece of lace. You'll need some extra lace to work with, so don't cut the piece to the exact size of the pattern. You may need to dye the lace to get it to match your skin tone. If you need to dye the lace, do it now, before you secure it to your pattern. You can find wig lace online or you can by similar fabrics at a craft store. Drape the lace over the pattern on the wig block. Secure the lace along the hairline using balled straight pins. Once you have the lace secured to the wig block, trace the entire hairline using small straight pins. Take care not to let the lace get ruffled as you work. Keep it smooth and tight. Once the front hairline is completely pinned, smooth the lace down to the back of the pattern. Secure the back with a straight pin and continue the pinning process in the back. Continue to keep the lace tight as you work. You may end up having to fold some of the lace in the back to keep it flat on the pattern. Pin the tip of the fold to secure it, and then sew the open end of the fold shut. Remove all the pins from the lace and take the cap off the pattern. Test the fit of the cap and make any necessary adjustments.
