so do you have to write a full length essay for this... i.e. section 2?

for each artist you talk about for this question you MUST explain conceptual practice and material practice
- this is cos this is the area of the syllabus it is asking you to write about.
i can't really help you specifically cos i dont know what the artist or artwork is, but to make the question easier, divide each artist into 2 different parts
first of all talk about material practice, discuss those three terms - knowledge, experiences and materials - and how they have affected the material practice of the artist's artwork, i.e. subject matter, composition maybe, use of materials and media, scale, etc.
then for a second paragraph, discuss the artist's concept in relation to their knowledge experiences and materials. so if the artist has used found object sculpture, for eg. , WHY has the artist used these materials and what does it convey to the artist. How have the expereiences of the artist shaped the meaning they are trying to convey.
