Research and Communication Skills has given me the opportunity to gain new skills that have influenced my practice outside of this module. Appropriation in particular was not a term that I had  come across, I didn’t realise it was a way that some artists liked to work. I found this to be a valuable task as it taught me about a different way of working that I hadn’t previously considered. Another task I engaged with was a choice of different artworks to analyse, I chose Nikki. S. Lee Part 14 2002 it inspired me to look at photography within my own work and that it could be used as a sole way of working and showed me how much could be read by the viewer from cleverly composed photograph.
In my opinion the two stated tasks made more of an impact on me than others such as task 7 which I found quite challenging to understand. However it taught me that perhaps I need to improve my knowledge of the English language to allow me to progress further in my practice.
