This standard asks you to explain how spiritual and physical aspects (like emotions, culture, your body, and the world around you) show up in visual art works. You need to discuss what caused an artist to create a piece—whether those causes came from inside them, from their surroundings, from their past, or from current events—and give reasons for your ideas. You're learning to think deeply about what moves artists and how that appears in what they make.
You identify and discuss spiritual and physical aspects in an artwork, and explain what internal or external factors likely influenced it, with some reasons given.
You clearly explain specific spiritual and physical aspects that influenced the artwork, and provide supported reasoning about internal, external, historical, and contemporary factors that caused the artist to create it.
You make thoughtful judgments about how spiritual and physical aspects shaped the artwork, give well-supported reasons for your analysis, compare it to other artworks to strengthen your thinking, and show deep understanding of the cultural and historical context.
