You're analysing the foundational principles and concepts that sit behind visual art forms—things like perspective, composition, symbolism, and how artists use these to communicate ideas. You'll explain where these principles come from, how they work now, and what might influence them in the future, backing up your thinking with examples and comparisons.
You identify key visual art principles (like composition or symbolism), explain what they are and where they come from, and show basic understanding of how they're used now with some supporting examples.
You analyse how visual art principles work in current practice, make connections between principle and artistic purpose, and use well-chosen examples to support reasoned judgements about how these principles might develop.
You demonstrate sophisticated understanding of how internal artistic traditions and external cultural or social factors interact to shape visual principles both now and into the future, supported by insightful analysis and compelling examples.
