creating visual art labels for an exhibition/showcase; for example, researching a variety of art gallery labels and using findings to plan and write a label with the artist’s name, materials, year, and information about how the task was approached and what the artwork is about
describing the artistic vision of artists from different contexts, cultures, times and places, particularly referencing the meaning that their artworks convey
