You need to choose artworks and explain how the materials artists use (like paint, bronze, film, or digital tools) create specific effects on viewers—whether that's emotional impact, visual drama, or interesting textures. You'll describe what the artist did with their chosen material and show clearly how it makes the artwork work the way it does.
You describe what media was used and what effects it created, with supporting examples from the artworks.
You explain in detail how the artist applied or manipulated the media to deliberately create those specific effects, showing clear cause and effect.
You evaluate why the artist chose particular media and judge how effectively those choices created the intended effects, with perceptive insight into the impact on the viewer.
