How are we? What is happening in our world? One good/interesting/tricky thing?
How are we feeling in general about the theories module?
Take a few minutes just to reflect on your progress with your research and overall understanding. Share back with the class, reflecting on what your overall understanding/progress of your chosen theory now that you have explored a couple of artworks. What has been helpful for you?
Any questions about the upcoming assessment (or anything else)? Don't panic if nothing comes to mind. You can ask them in the chat during class, or verbally at the end. I will try to put a minute or so aside at either end of the lesson for this.
Today we will be honing our ideas about the texts.
It is important to realise that with the Texts standard, you are unpacking someone else's thinking and how important/significant it was.
I've been thinking about the kinds of texts we choose. What do you think makes a useful text? The clarifications say 'Texts must be about art; at the appropriate level for students and provide students with sufficient scope to explain and evaluate the ideas and views expressed by authors.' This is still quite broad. Which texts have you found to be really useful? Why? Try to summarise in one to two sentences:
- Who wrote it?
- What angle did they take?
- What were their key messages?
We'll take 5 for this. Reflect on these questions and share with the class your most helpful text.
I will go through a presentation about the marking schedule and comparing NA to E.
It is important to note:
- You need to identify the author's point of view. What is their stance about art and what lens are they viewing it through?
- How do they interpret art? What is important to them and what are their big ideas about art?
- How significant were the ideas and interpretations of the author?
- Evidence is really important. At the very least for achieved, you will use "supporting evidence from the texts." For Merit and Excellence you will use evidence from other sources, NB "Random quotations and references to texts that are not linked to the required explanations will not contribute to the assessable evidence. Supporting evidence from other sources may include aspects of selected art works, relevant contextual information, or other texts."
Anayzing our own texts:
I’ve added some prompts at the top of the Texts padlet, all of these paraphrase the marking criteria.
Have a look at them, and your work thus far on texts. Use the prompts as a checklist.
What do you know about your texts so far. Which of the prompts do you think you have covered off? Which prompt Q’s need attention? Are there any prompt Q’s you have kind of covered, but could add depth to?
We’ll share back with the class where we are at and what will be important to work on next with your texts.
We’ll then spend 10-15 mins building on existing notes, using the prompts as a guide.

How did we find that? Thoughts, challenges, questions?
Working on our ideas about theories
We'll spend some time building on our ideas about the theories. You could use this time to add anything you've come across that has strengthened your understanding of the theory/artwork, adding to the big questions that are dotted around the padlet, anything you need to firm up your understanding of ...
Over the week:
Make sure you are up to date for theories
Tag me into anything you want feedback on (I am still plodding my way through your research to provide general feedback about your work)
Develop your ideas about texts to the point where you are able to answer to some extent:
the author's point of view. What is their stance about art and what lens are they viewing it through?
The author's interpretations about art? What is important to them and what are their big ideas about art?
How significant were the ideas and interpretations of the author?
- Using Evidence. (At the very least for achieved, you will use "supporting evidence from the texts." For Merit and Excellence you will use evidence from other sources.)
Next week you will share with the class a comparison of two texts, making sure to answer the above questions. Do this well and you should only need to slightly polish up your work for the assessment.
Ask questions during the week about Texts, if you have anything that you want to have clarified, are hesitant about etc.
Questions, about anything?
I will also check out the chat for questions.
