Practice describes the artistic activity, work or agency of artists to produce artworks.
ARTMAKING PRACTICE
>>> refers to all the things that might be important in the production of an artwork, including
-treatment and use of materials
-representation of thoughts, feelings and experiences
-stylistic innovations
-the artists' intention and philosophy
-emerging technologies
-personal symbols and signs
-ideas and concepts
simply put, artmaking practise looks at the intentions of an artist, and the techniques, strategies and processes they use to get to the finished product of "the artwork".
like with your Body of Work, it takes into consideration both
> technical resolution
and
> conceptual strength and meaning.
on top of this, the "artmaking practice" doesn't simply result from the artist and their ideas -- they are influenced in various ways by their world, and their aims; what they want the audience to get from their work
