Comparative Study Template

Comparative Study (CS) | Art Education

 

WHAT THE CRITERIA FOR COMPARATIVE STUDY MEANS:

 A Formal analysis

This is the visual analysis part, an informed, effective discussion of the formal qualities of art, line, shape, color, etc

B  Function and purpose

Why was the work made? What function does it have? An art work can have a purely expressive function or it may have a ceremonial or political or religious, function. Why was it made, what might it mean? For some art works this will be very important, others less so.

C Cultural significance

Where and when was it made, what was happening at the time and place? An informed, appropriate consideration of work within a cultural context: i.e historical, geographical, religious and other relevant contexts.

D Making connections and comparisons

The ability to make logical and coherent comparisons between the works discussed

E Presentation and subject specific language

Using Art Vocabulary and terminology is always important. Balance of text and visuals, an clear, engaging visual presentation is desirable, layout is considered, writing is legible, artists names are spelled correctly, with sources cited.

F Making connection to own art practice

HL students reflect on how the work under consideration impacts, influences or otherwise connects to their own art making. This can be quite revelatory and meaningful for some students.

COMPARATIVE STUDY 

 (Due in January) The comparative study is an externally examined assessment task worth 20%. To complete the task, you are required to present a comparative study of at least three artworks by at least two different artists from different and contrasting cultural contexts. The work should be selected from work you have investigated as a part of your independent coursework, and will be explored further and presented as a series of screen-based slides. 

An introduction to the study should summarize the scope of the investigation from which the focus artworks, objects and artifacts have been selected.

Students should aim for a balance of visual and written content, and use an appropriate means of acknowledging sources. Students must ensure that their work makes effective use of subject-specific language where appropriate.

The Requirements:

  • 15 screens, which examine and compare at least three artworks, objects or artifacts, at least two of which need to be by different artists.
  • The works selected for comparison and analysis should come from differing cultural contexts.
  • 5 screens, which analyze the extent to which their work and practices have been influenced by the art and artists examined.
  • A list of sources used.

For each of the selected artworks, objects or artifacts, students are encouraged to:

  • Focus their analysis and interpretation of works through consideration of:
  • What role does the artist play
  • The role of the artwork
  • Who is/was the audience for the work
  • The cultural context.

Making connections
Students present their comparisons of the different pieces, clearly identifying links between them. These comparisons might include:

  • comparing the cultural contexts of the selected pieces
  • comparing the formal qualities of the selected pieces
  • comparing the function and purpose of the selected pieces
  • comparing the material, conceptual and cultural significance of the pieces.

Connecting to own art-making practice 
Students reflect on their research outcomes and the extent to which their own art-making practices and pieces have subsequently been influenced by artworks, objects, artifacts and their creators examined in the comparative study. These influences and personal connections, which should be evidenced in both visual and written forms, might include:

  • cultural context
  • formal qualities
  • function and purpose
  • Materials, conceptual and cultural significance.

When referring to your own artwork and practices, students must be sure to identify and acknowledge their own artworks with the same rigorous attention to detail as with images from other sources.

Sources
Students include a list of sources used during the study.

Academic honesty
Every image used within the comparative study must be appropriately referenced to acknowledge the title, artist, date (where this information is known) and the source, following the protocol of the referencing style chosen by the school. When HL students include any images of their own original work, these must also be identified and acknowledged in the same way.

  • identification of the formal qualities of the selected pieces (elements such as shape/form, space, tone, color, line, texture and principles such as balance, rhythm, proportion, emphasis, pattern, variety)
  • interpretation of the function and purpose of the selected pieces (such as the meanings of motifs, signs and symbols used in the work)
