4short 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 instead of analysis?
Show answer
The artist's life is minor context. Analyse their intentions, methods and visual language, not their dates.
What is no decision for your work?
Show answer
An artist study should end with a use ("so I will..."). A study that does not change your own work misses the influence AO1 rewards.
What is q1?
Show answer
Name the three things to analyse when studying an artist. [Knowledge recall]
What is q2?
Show answer
Explain why responding to an artist scores more highly than copying their work. [Short explanation]
