Hello :)
When analysing images of an architectural building (e.g. the interior & exterior of a cathedral) in Section I, what aspects of architecture do we need to take into account?

Hey, svnflower!
It really depends on the key words of the question and which aspect of VA you're being asked on. If it's an Artmaking Practice question, you would need to address material and conceptual practice in your response but if you have Postmodern Frame question, you would write more about the way the building reflects postmodern qualities, characteristics and ideologies. You might want to check out this glossary for some revision; it's very extensive but can be worth having a look at to have a few concepts up your sleeve to add to your response's metalanguage ;D Hope this helps!

Hi!
For Section II, I want to discuss 3 artists (2 artworks per artist). Do I need to introduce all artwork titles in the introduction or can I introduce them one by one later in the essay? Are artist birth/death dates needed in the introduction? Also, are there any other synonyms for 'artist practice'?

Hey, svnflower!
Great question ;D I personally didn't introduce the artwork titles in my introduction. I would introduce them in the body paragraphs as I discussed them and included information such as the year, form/medium (sculpture, painting etc.) and where it was first exhibited (name of exhibition if applicable). I only mentioned the artists and what period they came from (Renaissance, Modernist etc.) That, I believe, provides more context about the artist and the nature of their work over providing birth and death dates. Here's an example :)
Introducing ArtistsPostmodern artists Patrick Dougherty, Alison Sigethy and Ai Weiwei have explored their artmaking practice with an awareness for the cultures and lives they are representing, researching and experimenting with innovative materials, techniques and forms to engage contemporary audiences.
As for other ways of expressing artist practice, you could use "artmaking" as a similar term. I also separated their process into "material practice" and "conceptual practice" because I found it easier to talk about the artist's practice like this and to then draw connections between the two as a means to explain how the artwork embodies both concrete and abstract qualities. Hope this helps!
