For HL students, now you have arrived at the final part of the CS- F. Making connections to your own work.
It's time to analyze and reflect on the outcomes of the comparative study investigation and on how this has influenced your own development as an artist, identifying connections between one or more of the selected works and your own.
It is best to be intentional as early as possible, using subject matter, themes, or techniques from your studies in year 1 to inspire a work. It's possible to make connections later, but it is best to go in intentionally and have these works inspire at least one exhibition work.
At the highest level on the rubric:
"The work provides a consistent and insightful evaluation on the outcomes of the investigation. The student effectively analyses and evaluates the extent to which their own art-making and pieces have been influenced by artworks, objects, and artifacts examined in the comparative study, making informed and meaningful connections throughout.
Include photos of the artist’s work and explain what they did and how you learnt from it or what parts you took from their process in your work. Try to use ideas from the artists throughout the process.
How did the artist’s idea inspire your initial ideas?
Is there knowledge that the artist talks about that you relate to?
What was the artist’s process? Where did s/he get his/her ideas? How are they similar to yours?
What techniques did the artist use in the development stage that you used?
How does the artist view the world? Did you try to view your world in the same way?
What techniques does the artist use in his/her works that you used?
What EOA and POD does the artist use that you used – did you use the same colour scheme? Texture? Contrast? Use of lines? Exaggeration? Juxtaposition?
