Part A: After reviewing your exhibition practice journal and critically reflecting on your exhibition practices, you will write a reflective practice essay (900-1100 words). In this essay you will critically appraise your recent exhibition practices.

Part B: Complete and submit a short exegesis (2070 – 2530 words) that critically situates specific artworks from your recent creative practice within context specific theory and the artwork of critically recognised, contemporary visual artists. It will do this by thoughtfully describing your reflective thinking and reflexive actions in such a way as to expose relationships with the specific theoretical frameworks and artworks that have informed your, creative investigations over the last 6-12 months. To satisfy the requirements of this exegesis, your description must include your own critical insights about your recent creative outcomes, based on your understanding of how your creative practice is informed by specific theoretical frameworks, specific artworks, and how you believe your artworks are read by your target audience.
