Visual Art HSC : Section 2 Question (1 Viewer)

[Keru]

Hey guys I have a question that hopefully someone can answer for me:

How many artists on average do people use? I know teachers are recommending 7ish but in regards to a frames question, does anybody what would be sufficient? Would 4 or 5 be? Again I know it depends on the question and all.

Even 4 or 5 is considering too many. Its much better to know 3-4 in depth and talk about them that talk about more than that in not as much detail

what the fuck?!?! I got told by my teacher to only use 1 artist and know 3 of their artworks!!

 

[azza1203]

ive been told 6 artists for frames section to get a band 6 from my teacher

 

[azza1203]

i meant 6 different artists and one work of theirs

What i got told is either go with :

* 2 artists - 3 artworks (but in deep detail)
* 3 artists - 2 artworks

There is no way i will be studying 4 artist+, i dont see the need to write about so many artists to get a band 6. I think writing an indepth response about fewer artists is better than writing a broad and vague response to many artsists.

I've only studied 3 artists in-depth.

Mind you, last year a kid from our school received full marks for his HSC Visual arts essay using only one artist..

I got full marks in our trial using two..

agree... the point of an exam is to show u know stuff...so pick a few artists that u know alot about... im studyin 5 and will use 3

I did that in trials and I got a poor mark. I was told to do less artists and focus more on about 3 artists with more artworks

 

[mckensara]

you guys are JOKING!

i go to a school where 90% of students taking art get a band 6
we do 2 artists, 2 artworks each
some even do 2 artists with 1 each if their in depth...

seriously..

we are recommended to learn all of our case studies
most people learn 2/3 artists!

^i reckon...
7+artsist? sheesh, just not necessary

Ok after my little freak out earlier in this thread I now have 2 artists to write about, one with only one artwork and the other with 2 artworks

I'm now more prepared and not shitting bricks anymore haha

 

[blueduck]

ive got three artists from totally different time periods so im hoping for a "how has world/culture influenced artists choices" not sure if thats frame or or conceptual...i just go with the easiest....know what would be an awesome question...
"art". Disuss.
so postmodern

I'm just going to study art for 30 minutes, tonight. I was thinking of having 3 movements, and about 2 artworks each for about 3 artists, and then references to works for 2 movements.

 

[MzBiiBii]

Okay I don't think I can study anymore (not that I've actually 'studied')

I think reading over my artists is enough and I keep getting distracted: Dreaming about finishing ahhhhhhh

 

[kaytt]

oh i can't be bothered studying.. and it's not like it's an exam that you can study heaps for because section one is usually artists you have never seen before and the second section is an essay which you can study for to a certain extent. i'll just read my trial essay, can't be bothered at all... tomorrow is FINISHING day

 

[fuzzy09]

yeah im just going to go over my essay and go over the frames and then relaxx!
Hopefully the test will be easy. Going to celebrate the official end of hsc with mates at Rashays.. ahhh cant wait till tomorrow

 

[hjpuflett]

we are expected to know in excess of 8 artists
if you get asked for range you'll get destroyed with only 2 or 3

no way nope not true
better to know 3 in really great detail than mention lots of artists superficially
3 is still a 'range'
