I'm genuinely curious now. Why do they have to write about their work in art school? I can understand if they have to explain how they created it, like the techniques they used. But what's the purpose of a story? Is it some kind of multidisciplinary course where they need to be both good painters and good writers to get good grades?

Becusse art is an academic discipline and not just about self pleasure

But the story is also self pleasure. It's just another piece of creative work in addition to the painting.

It’s not a literal story it’s meant to explain you as an artist and why what you’re doing is worthwhile
