Comparative Study 

Due to school restrictions, DP Artwork can not be displayed on personal sites.

Picture 1.png

Compare and contrast at least 3 artworks from at least 2 different artists of similar subject matter from 2 different cultures and (or) time periods. (They must be from different cultures).

​

The study explores the formal qualities, meaning, and the material, conceptual, and/or cultural significance of the artworks.

 

The final format of your CS will be submitted to IB in a Google Slides or similar type of presentation. 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.

 

SL 10-15 slides

HL 10-15 slides + 3-5 slides (Criteria F) which analyze the extent to which their work has been influenced by the art and artists examined. Even though you may not have created the works that you will use for your CS, choose a genre/subject or an artist that uses techniques that interest you.
