Explain how and why the historical artwork of abstract discuss was originally created, and how and why it remains relevant today; in particular, in relation to your own art practice. In other words: 1. What was the historical work of art made to do? (its function, artist’s original purpose and audience) 2. What does it do today? (then vs. now) 3. How might it still teach us something? 4. How does it inform your own, recently-created artwork? The artist or patron (if applicable) of the historical work; why and how they created the work; • the historical period and context the work was created in; • the historical artwork’s important formal features; • why this historical artwork is relevant today—what possible use is it to someone in a creative industry?  presentation  of this slideshow is about 6-7 mins
