Save your actual school result to count your credits.
This standard asks you to analyse how and why established painters make their work—looking at their methods (how they paint) and ideas (what they're saying). You'll research at least three painters from different sources, describe what makes their work distinctive, and explain how their approaches relate to the bigger picture of art history, culture, and society.
What to do, grades and common mistakes
- ·Research and identify methods and ideas from at least three established painters using at least two different sources
- ·Describe and examine specific features of the artworks (composition, technique, materials, style)
- ·Explain how and why these painters made their work the way they did, and how it was viewed and valued
- ·Compare and contrast the approaches and practices of different painters you've studied
- ·Support your analysis with specific examples from the artworks themselves
You identify and describe the methods and styles of at least three painters, explain some of how and why they worked this way, and show you've researched from multiple sources.
You dig deeper by finding key information from a good range of sources and use specific examples from the paintings to support your discussion of particular methods and ideas.
