Demonstrate an understanding of methods and ideas from established practice appropriate to sculpture
You need to research and understand how sculptures are made and the ideas behind them by looking at real artworks and artists. You'll identify specific methods (techniques) and artistic ideas from established sculptors, and explain them by looking at the context—where they were made, why, and how people view them. The main goal is to show you understand how sculpture techniques and concepts connect to the world around the artwork.
You identify and document information about sculpture methods and ideas from established artists, with some reference to the context where the work was made or displayed.
You identify and document specific information about how established sculptors actually use particular methods and ideas, with clear reference to the contexts that shaped the work.
You analyse specific methods and ideas from established practice and explain clearly how and why these sculptures relate to their contexts—showing deeper understanding of cause and effect between artistic choice and circumstance.
