Research
Be considerate of how these assessment criteria fit together, and the impact that the individual elements have on each other.
A resolved piece of artwork is when the Concept, Composition and Technique make sense together. This is the FORMAL QUALITIES - they are what we can see. They are what is "on the canvas". (It could be a video or sculpture, just a term to refer to what is on/visible in the artwork)
Outside of that is "canvas" is the artist world, and outside of that is the wider world. The way that the artist's work is influenced by their world is the CULTURAL CONTEXT. How the artist negotiates the world, and their world in their piece is the FUNCTION AND PURPOSE. This could be the concept, but will be seen in the Technique and Composition, so back to the FORMAL QUALITIES.

ACADEMIC HONESTY
Many candidates are using effective academic referencing both in their list of sources and at the point of use. There was improved citation of sources from previous sessions. However, some candidates still believe that if they have included the source in the list then they can use content without citing at the point of use: this is not the case. Some candidates lift short phrases from references without citing the source or acknowledging that they are using the words verbatim by using quotation marks. Citation of all supporting images, such as contextualising photographs and candidate’s own images is a requirement. A failure to acknowledge a source will be treated as potential academic misconduct.
