The student demonstrated a good level of awareness regarding how their investigation impacted their own practices and intentions when creating art, effectively showing the influence of various techniques and cultural contexts on their work. However, the investigation lacked some depth in critical analysis, particularly in linking specific elements of art and principles of design to artistic intentions. For instance, the explanation of Edgar Degas’ work could have been enhanced with a more explicit connection between media, formal qualities, and intentions. Overall, while the student’s research was strong, more thorough explanations and comparisons would have enriched their portfolio further.
