Amendments to study design
Teachers of VCE Art are advised that from 2008, the requirements regarding the selection of artists and artworks for study in Unit 4 Outcome 2 will change. This change will have an impact on the end-of-year examination.
Currently the study design states that:
Students must undertake
- A study of at least two artists who have produced work before 1970 (which may be the same artists studied in Unit 3) and at least two artworks of each of the two artists chosen for study (where the artists chosen for study in Unit 4 are the same as in Unit 3, the artworks must be different from those selected for study in Unit 3).
or
- A study of at least two artists who have produced work since 1970 (which may be the same artists studied in Unit 3) and at least two artworks of each of the two artists chosen for the study (where the artists chosen for study in Unit 4 are the same as in Unit 3, the artworks must be different from those selected for study in Unit 3).
The changes are as follows:
Students must undertake
- A study of at least two artists who have produced work before 1970 (which may be the same artists studied in Unit 3) and at least one artwork of each of the two artists chosen for study (where the artists chosen for study in Unit 4 are the same as in Unit 3, the artworks must be different from those selected for study in Unit 3).
and
- A study of at least two artists who have produced work since 1970 (which may be the same artists studied in Unit 3) and at least one artwork of each of the two artists chosen for the study (where the artists chosen for study in Unit 4 are the same as in Unit 3, the artworks must be different from those selected for study in Unit 3).
The outcome, key knowledge and key skills for Unit 4 Outcome 2 remain unchanged.
The assessment tasks for School-assessed Coursework remain unchanged.
