Update your settings from the settings page:

Create your Statamic forms as usual. When a submission is created it is checked for spam.
If it is spam, it gets put into that form's spam queue.
From there you can delete it, or mark it ham (not spam). Marking it as ham it will put it back into the normal submissions and tell Akismet that it is not spam (to help with learning).
If you find a submission that is spam, you can mark it as spam. This will put it in the spam queue and tell Akismet it is spam.
Both of those can be done one at a time, or in bulk via the bulk selection.
