What are using the four contexts?Show answer
The four contexts give you a framework for interpretation. The contemporary context places the work among current ideas and issues. The personal context considers the artist's experience and intent. The cultural context situates the work in shared histories and communities.
What is evidence is visual?Show answer
The single most important habit is to support every claim with specific visual evidence from the artwork in front of you. Do not write "the work is unsettling"; write "the steep upward viewpoint and the cropped, looming figure make the viewer feel small and watched, which unsettles." The evidence is the observable feature; the claim is what it means. A claim without visual evidence is an opinion; a claim with evidence is analysis.
What is structuring an extended response?Show answer
Under time pressure, a reliable structure protects your argument.
