What is deconstruction?
Physically or metaphorically taking imagery apart so its parts can be rearranged to make or change meaning.
What is distortion?
A deliberate alteration or exaggeration of forms or proportions to change expression or meaning.
How does stylisation differ from reduction?
Stylisation simplifies or exaggerates to emphasise characteristics, often in a consistent graphic style; reduction strips detail away until only essentials remain.
What is a visual problem?
A question about how to show something, solved by testing and comparing possible visual solutions.
Name four techniques for working from direct observation.
Any four of drawing, photography, collecting, painting, collage, printmaking, video and animation.
What is an artist's viewpoint?
The perspective, lens or context through which the subject is presented, which shapes its meaning.
Why should a folio show several solutions rather than one?
It reveals how ideas were developed, tested and judged, which is the evidence of generating solutions to visual problems.
What makes an inquiry question useful?
It is open, so it can be explored through both making and responding rather than answered with a single fact.
Give two safe practices when using aerosols or solvents.
Work with good ventilation (or outdoors as directed) and dispose of solvents through approved waste, never down drains.
Which two contexts does Unit 1 foreground?
The contemporary context and the personal context.
What does the contemporary context focus on?
21st-century art ideas and issues and how they challenge the ways art engages, communicates and makes meaning.
What does the personal context focus on?
Emotions, sensory experience, personal philosophy, beliefs and ideas of the artist or the viewer.
Name three making strategies for the contemporary context.
Reconceptualise, modify and appropriate; also test boundaries of traditional practice and investigate new technologies.
What two questions guide responding through the contemporary context?
What new meanings does a past artwork gain today, and which traditional values or assumptions about art are being re-evaluated?
In responding through the personal context, what should you examine about yourself?
How your own feelings and background shape your reaction to the artwork.
What is reverse chronology?
A research method that starts with a contemporary artist and traces earlier influences backwards as a cause-and-effect chain.
Why start a case study with the contemporary artist?
The work is closer to your experience, and each step back explains a feature visible in that work.
