I study landscape and garden architecture. I am passionate about nature and architecture.
It’s important to occasionally refer to this field of study in the task and to establish links between art and nature.
assignment description:
‘The writing assignment consists of discussing an artwork created after 2010 that you have seen yourself in one of the museums, art centers, or galleries from the attached list, or in a public space. You should ask yourself three questions about this artwork. Explain why you are asking these questions, and incorporate themes found in a text by an artist, art critic, or philosopher, a scientific or art historical text, an interview, (a passage from) a novel, or themes discussed in one of the lessons. You need to search in libraries. Do research. Texts from newspapers or general magazines are not sufficient. Also, do not limit yourself to what you find on the internet—public domain information is often less interesting than knowledge protected by copyright—but also go to one or more specialized libraries. For example, our art library or the architecture department library of the university.
Write clearly and avoid spelling mistakes. Construct a coherent narrative and structure your text well. You need to know the essence of what you want to convey. Do not write in loose sentences, but in paragraphs. A paragraph typically contains at least four to five sentences, ensuring the whole forms a proper text. A text on paper or a large screen is read differently than a text on a small screen. If you quote authors, place the quotes in double quotation marks and indicate the source in a footnote. Failure to do so constitutes plagiarism. At the end of your text, list all the sources you consulted in a bibliography. AI can be useful for improving your writing skills. Feel free to use it, but the questions you ask yourself should be your own, and you should develop them yourself. The three elaborated questions should together be between 1200 and 1500 words long.’
! -> I have chosen to write about the art/artwork by David Hockney, The Arrival of Spring, Normandy.
(I am a big fan of David Hockney and find his work on The Arrival of Spring highly applicable and relevant to my field of study in landscape and garden architecture.
I went to see the exhibition of David Hockney’s oeuvre originating from the Tate in London at the Bozar in Brussels with my sister.)
comment from my teacher about this choice: ‘make sure to delve deeply into this late phase of Hockney’s oeuvre and also ask yourself how this late phase relates to his earlier phases. Have you seen any of his work elsewhere since then?’
Note for my paper writer : I am attaching some class presentations. These do not necessarily need to be used in the text. However, this way you will have an idea of the artists we have discussed during the lessons.
