COMPARATIVE STUDY - CHECKLIST



COMPARATIVE STUDY - CHECK LIST
√
No candidate name/session number or school name in the comparative study

Introduction to the Comparative Study – Very important, how this investigation impacted on your art practice overall- not just for the artwork you are comparing.  

Three artworks, at least two of which should be by different artists

Artworks come from contrasting contexts (local, national, international and/or intercultural)

Identification of the cultural contexts in which the selected pieces were created 

Identification and analysis of the formal qualities of the selected pieces 
Analysis can take many forms: • The use of visual means such as details, juxtaposition, graphical explanation • The use of language to explain and to explore. In a good study, a candidate will use evidence to support their analysis • Such as informed research • Or detailed observation. Breakdown details in points. 

Analysis and understanding of the function and purpose of the selected pieces 

Analysis and evaluation of the material; the conceptual and cultural significance of the selected pieces to the cultural contexts within which they were created

Comparing and contrasting the selected pieces, identifying links in cultural context, formal qualities, function, purpose, material, conceptual and cultural significance 

Compare artworks, rather than comparing artists

Part 3 (SL and HL): Exhibition

  Part 3 (SL and HL): Exhibition Internal Assessment 40% Why assess an exhibition? The exhibition provides an assessment platform for both SL and HL students to showcase the final product of their art-making processes. It allows for the assessment of the observable qualities of technical resolution, the successful communication of ideas and the synthesis of form and function. It also provides students with the opportunity to demonstrate their discernment in determining the strongest works for the exhibition and how to best arrange these works to their best advantage and to make connections for the audience between works. Additionally, HL students need to articulate how they have considered possible relationships between the artworks exhibited and the viewer.

Curatorial Rationale (Artist Statement)

Curatorial Rationale (Artist Statement) What is a Curatorial Rationale? The Curatorial Rationale is similar to an artists’ statement but refers specifically to the work selected for this exhibition rather than the general artistic output.
