Quick questions on Analysing artists and artworks - AQA A-Level Art and Design
2short Q&A pairs drawn directly from our worked dot-point answer. For full context and worked exam questions, read the parent dot-point page.
What is biography as context?Show answer
Reciting where the artist was born is not context. Context must explain a formal choice in the work in front of you.
What is no link to your practice?Show answer
Critical study that never feeds your own work misses the point of AO1; always end with a takeaway.
