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]
