You should pass request.POST as data to the form (or request.GET, or another dictionary-like object), and not request.method:

def add(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = newforms(request.POST, request.FILES)
        if form.is_valid():
            task = form.cleaned_data['task']
            tasks.append(task)
    else:
        form = newforms()
    return render(request,'add.html',{'form': form})

That being said, using a list is not a good idea. You here introduce global state. This makes the program unpredictable, but furthermore it also means the data is not persistent when you restart the server. If you later use multiple workers, it would mean that one worker has another state than another worker.
