When investigating other artists it is more important to be able to analyse the work rather than simply repeating facts about them – like when they were born or died. It is important to know what happened to the artist to influence the work they produced – (this will include political and social aspects of the time).
The list below is intended to give you some starting points for questioning the work of other artists and your own work as it progresses.
You need to be aware that annotation is part of what the exam board are looking for. It is best to analyse your own work as it progresses because your thoughts and ideas are fresh.
You could start by describing parts of the artwork. Use arrows to show differences, similarities or particular aspects of the work.
is in the picture?
WHAT material/s has been used?
is the theme?
was happening in the artist’s life?
WHEN Was it done?
WHERE is it shown / displayed?
can it be displayed?
WHY was it done?
was it done?
HOW could the work progress?
WHO did it?
Does the artwork make you feel / think Influenced the Art / Artist
There is one question you should be asking yourself about others work and your own. It is one that you should ask as you progress and that is:
It was in a different media
WHAT IF…..? If I / the artist changed the scale / colour / composition etc
Add texture / colour / other media
