What exactly IS required for the CS?
SL 10-15 pages (screens)
The pages submitted examine and compare at least three artworks at least two of which need to be by different artists.
The work selected for comparison should come from contrasting contexts (local, national, international and/or intercultural). Ideally students should see one of the works firsthand.

The role of the Visual Journal in the CS
The Visual Journal collects and contains all the students visual and written experimentation and investigations.
- Use the Journal to specifically document the CS research and responses to each piece.
- Include detailed interpretations, evaluations, and comparisons.
- Select and adapt from these pages for the CS
Making meaningful connections
Making connections through both FORM and MEANING..
You
can compare anything, but it will only have convincing strength if
there is solid ground for comparison, both formally and conceptually..
Comparisons
do not need to be as directly referential as the Jeff Wall/Hokusai
comparison on the left, but it is helpful to have some commonalities.
The page Comparing Images has examples of art works that lend themselves easily to comparisons.
The page Skills for CS has suggestions for how to build up to the Cs gradually through a series of guided comparisons.
Start with a piece of art that excites you
Use Primary Sources!
It’s
great if students can see at least one of the works themselves!. An
exhibition can be an excellent starting point for a CS, then each
student can take it in different directions. As a matter of fact, why
not use an exhibition visit as the starting point for the CS? If it is a
big collection there will be plenty of room for individual choices of
artworks.
