The assignments are aimed at photography as art, not as, for example, product catalog illustration.
I'd disagree ... imo, the assignments are themed "self-assignments" as a goal for development under the premise as though one had been commissioned to produce an image (hence the timelines involved). Whether or not it is an art perspective or a business perspective or other perspective (e.g. such as silly/fun/playful/clever) is variable.
Imo, the intent behind the assignment is that you use it as a catalyst to advance your own skill set ... however that may be warranted, whether that is technical, artistic, or
If you deem the assignment goal to be an effort to produce a catalog shot for a client, so be it. If you deem it to be an effort to produce a fine art piece, so be that as well. As a skill builder, you may want to strive to any number of attributes (contained within the context of the theme) to advance your growth.
To me, the WA/MA is a valuable tool to help challenge you to grow yourself, however you strive to stretch yourself.
