Critics were giving constructive criticism of other artist’s works. The objective of the critic is to clarify and assess:

• the quality of an artwork

• how an artist develops and produces art

• how the audience may view, understand and appreciate the artwork.

• When you write your explanation of other artists artwork. Your criticism about art should:

• involve more than personal judgments

• clearly describe the effectiveness of the artwork

• assess an artwork about the worlds not as an isolated piece of work display your knowledge of the visual arts

In the HSC examination paper, you will be required to demonstrate your ability as a critic when writing about artworks. Your interpretation of both the question asked in the study and the artist / artworks / critics / historians you discuss in your written response

Week 3-4 HSC Trial Exam

What do you need to study? How many artists models should I study?

In general chose three of your favorite and I suggest James Gleeson and Salvador Dali as the other two, in total five. I suggest five but three would be fine as long you can use examples and write as much as you can. About audience point of view, world view, artist view and the artwork.

• Understand artist concepts - where did their ideas and experiences come from to create the artworks?

• Understand how the artwork affected the world, audience and the artist.

• Understand how the artist worked regarding technique, where did they get their ideas, concepts, thought process describing, explaining, working process before the end product (artwork)

• Knowing five different artists would help give you options used to give artist examples.

Or

Knowing three artists will allow "in-depth" study of each artist model.

Also, understand your "observation skills" of interpreting artworks, artworks never seen before nor considered is demonstrated through your critical writing and analysis. This will allow the examiner to see if you can write articulately and concisely with the thought process displayed on many levels. Not just one linear thought.

At the end of the day demonstrate that you are critically thinking, analyzing the artworks explaining, critiquing the artworks intelligently. While making reference to the source material provided.
