Due to the variety of the tasks I have been exposed to different ways of talking about art and the vocabulary of the subject. The tasks most useful for this aspect were tasks 3, 5 and 7 as these were the ones asking me to review pieces or compare texts and therefore read how others spoke about art. The task I found most engaging was task 3 where I researched the context of Barkley L. Hendricks and his piece Tyrone [Tyrone Smith], 1976. By reading articles written on this I was inspired to analyse each feature of the painting and understand the meanings behind the symbols and how the painting was groundbreaking for the context of the time in America. Tasks where I had to reflect on my own work or my practice made me realise that my practice is not finalised. I have concepts and mediums that I’m interested in like nature and printing, but my style and studio practice needs development. The hardest was task 7, I struggled with the art terminology and had to reread both texts and make notes before I fully comprehended them and was able to summarise and compare. I’m now aware that I need to read more to become more fluent when talking about art pieces and movements.
