When adding an artwork to your process portfolio or comparative study, make sure the following information accompanies the photo:
1. name of artist 2. nationality 3. years alive 4. name of artwork (also interpreted into English) 5. year artwork was completed 6. medium/media 7. dimensions 8. current location or owner
Every artwork used must be appropriately referenced to acknowledge the:
Artist, title (in italics), year, medium, date, and owner (where this information is known) and the source using MLA referencing format in the works cited.
Candidates must be clear in their writing what is their practice work versus the work of others.
Candidates must ensure that their own original finished artwork is identified and acknowledged
My exhibition work/ final piece in my exhibition
title
medium
year
Candidates must remove their name, the name of the school and blur or cover their faces to avoid sharing personal details in their process portfolio.
When the candidate is aware that another person’s work, ideas or images have influenced his or her conceptual or developmental work but it has not been referred to directly in their work, the source must be cited at point of use and may also be included in a list of sources
A date must appear on every page
Where deliberately appropriating or practicing another artist’s work, candidates must fully acknowledge the original work and make explicit reference to the appropriation process
Candidates must include a works cited page which includes the sources of their research and imagery in MLA format.
The Visual arts guide states that:
1. Students must support their interpretation with reference to sound and reliable sources. When selecting the artworks to analyze and compare in your comparative study, you need to make sure that examiners can access them.
2. Any idea, work, image of others that has contributed to the completion of the comparative study should be referenced using MLA academic referencing.
3. Candidates are required to submit the list of sources (works cited) used and in-text referencing is required throughout the comparative study using MLA academic referencing.
