What is a copied potted history?Show answer
Pasting a general account of a movement shows no analysis. Explain it in your own words and tie it to your enquiry.
What is an irrelevant movement?Show answer
Choosing a movement because it is famous, not because it connects, wastes the context. Choose one relevant to your theme.
What is context with no influence?Show answer
A movement should direct a decision in your work. Appending history that changes nothing in your project misses the point of AO1.
What is q1?Show answer
Explain how art movements typically arise, with two examples. [Knowledge recall]
What is q2?Show answer
Explain why understanding why a movement arose matters more for AO1 than memorising its artists. [Short explanation]
