Making Connections
slide 1 of 3 addressing criterion D
• Visual: Make a diagram
with images or a
drawing that compares
the 3 artworks, or scan
a page in your journal
that compares and
contrasts all that you
have already discussed
in previous slides but in
note form, bullet points
are fine.
• Compare the cultural
contexts of the 3 works,
how are they shaped by
their culture and time?
The artist's intentions
and the pictures'
content are understood
within the very different
cultural and historical
ackgrounds
Inthinking

Making Connections
slide 2 of 3 addressing criterion D
Using diagrams or journal pages compare and contrast the
formal elements of all 3 artworks. How are they similar, how do
they differ?
• Compare: analyze the two
works discussing their
similarities to each other.
• What similar sort of lines,
colors, shapes, textures,
patterns, composition are
used?
• Are similar materials and
techniques used? What
about viewpoint?
Lighting? The analysis will
depend on the nature of
the work you choose.
• Contrast: discuss the ways in
which the works differ
formally.
• How are materials used
differently?
• How do the formal elements
of line, color, shape, space,
texture etc. differ in these
works?
• Are they different in scale,
technique, construction?
