Select two artworks from the “Prescribed Artworks List”. This list will be provided via CANVAS early in the delivery period. Your essay task is to compare and contrast the two works, concentrating upon the artistic approaches, techniques and conceptual outcomes addressed in this subject. Although some research is necessary to provide context, this essay is not significantly focused upon historical research or facts. Rather is it about your own visual analysis and response to the artworks you select. |

The following questions may assist as you develop your essay:
-
- What is depicted in each image/artwork?
-
- How are the artworks made? (techniques, materials, processes, size)
-
- How has the artist depicted the botanical subject? Why have they depicted it in this way?
-
- What do these artworks/images communicate to you as the viewer and how is this communicated?
-
- If you have seen the actual artwork for yourself, how does its viewing context affect its meaning? Discuss the artworks in terms of the drawing and painting techniques, language and vocabulary you have been exploring in class (hint: use the glossary of terms and definitions that you are collecting in your visual diary).
