1 Collaborate with peers, teachers, and/or mentors to generate and apply appropriate contextual criteria for a critique of an art work.
Indicators for this outcome
(a) Examine own and others’ art works to reinforce the importance of context when developing criteria (e.g., collaborate with a beadwork artist to identify criteria for critique).
(b) Identify criteria that are most appropriate to a particular form or style of art and apply when critiquing (e.g., functional designed object versus urban street art).
(c) Collaborate with peers to co-construct assessment criteria (e.g., technical skills, compositional qualities, use of images) for reflection on the development and resolution of own work, and identify what will be used as evidence of learning (e.g., journals, sketchbooks, artist’s statements, video documentation, critiques, portfolios).
(d) Provide criterion-referenced feedback on peers’ work in a constructive manner, incorporating visual art terminology.
(e) Consider feedback from peers, teachers, and mentors and provide a rationale for how the visual art work was resolved.
(f) Analyse how technical skills, design components and strategies (e.g., elements of art, principles of design, juxtaposition, exaggeration) have been used/manipulated in art work.
(g) Discuss the use of image development strategies in the creation and expression of various artists’ voice, style and art-making contexts, including strategies such as:
