Sample question
Which description best matches the syllabus meaning of ‘practice’?

  • Only the steps followed to complete one artwork
  • The list of materials used in an artwork
Show the worked answer

Answer: B

Practice includes agency and work, the structures and sequences that shape choices and judgements, and the perceptions and ways of working of people in the visual arts. The other options reduce it to rehearsal, a single procedure list or materials. Artmaking practice in particular is a network of linked procedures used to make art, not one fixed list of steps.
