Here is my final Capstone project (enjoy!): This video ended up being a lot of fun to work on! I think it concisely describes a few criteria that I think can make art meaningful (since, again, there unfortunately is no answer to the question) and gives a good example of a performance piece of art that I find to be meaningful.

Artist Statement: Art surrounds us. Every day. In all forms and mediums: on our screens; on paper; in the theatre; in the mundane interactions between us. My goal is to decipher what makes art meaningful, and through my "curiosities" (filmmaking, photography, magic, and acting), I have been fortunate enough to start to crack the code of this question. I want to apply what I find to my own work and help other artists with their work so that we can create more impactful art and therefore a better world as a whole. Cover Letter: I am an artist. It is what I do and who I am. I've been acting my whole life; I started learning and performing magic when I was 6 years old; and, even though filmmaking and photography have come into my life more recently, I have poured hours upon hours of work into them. These four artistic mediums have allowed me to have numerous incredible experiences and I wouldn't be the same person today without them. You can learn more about me and my work here: www.AriIsenberg.com As someone who has been a student at Galloway for 14 years, it feels weird to end in this way, but, at the same time, calming to have this as my final project. Please enjoy the video linked below (coming soon), which I hope you will find is meaningful. Sincerely, Ari Isenberg. Video script (attached document below):
