Analyse methods and ideas from established printmaking practice
You need to research and write about how established printmakers work—their methods and ideas. Your work must show that you understand at least three printmakers from at least two different sources, and can explain why their choices matter. This is about becoming familiar with real printmaking practice so you can think critically about the decisions artists make.
You identify printmaking methods and ideas from at least three artists, describe their work clearly, and explain some reasons for their choices.
You gather information from multiple sources and use specific artwork examples to discuss key differences between artists' approaches and what drives their decisions.
You evaluate the significance of artists' choices, place their work within broader social, political, historical, or geographic contexts, and present independent conclusions supported by strong evidence from wide-ranging research.
