MYP 2 Summative assessment – Task 1

This assignment will cover criterion A (i-ii).

Unit 1

Unit 1: 3D Art (Sculpture - Pottery – knife Paint).

Statement of Inquiry (SOI): Artists may create personal or cultural representations and emphasize
composition through changing forms.

1. Key concept: Change:

Change is a conversion, transformation, or movement from one form, state, or value to another. Inquiry into
the concept of change involves understanding and evaluating causes, processes, and consequences.

The arts may reflect change, or an inspiration for change. Change may be considered as external to the arts or
incorporated within an artwork. In the arts, change can also be termed as metamorphosis or transformation—
a marked change in appearance, form, nature, or character.

2. Related concepts: Composition and Representation.

3. The Global context: Personal and culture expression.

Personal and culture expression :What is the nature and purpose of creative expression? Students will explore
ways in which we discover and express ideas, feelings, cultures, beliefs; and ways in which we reflect and
enjoy our creativity.

3. The word of exploration: Create.

Meaning
Function: The function of art refers to its purpose or intended role within a particular context. It encompasses the reasons why
the artwork is created and the role it plays in society or within the art world. The function of art can vary widely, ranging from
aesthetic enjoyment and self-expression to social commentary, cultural preservation, or political activism. The function of a
specific artwork can be influenced by the artist's intentions, the historical or cultural context, and the expectations of the
audience.

Concept: The concept in visual arts refers to the underlying idea or intellectual framework behind an artwork. It represents the
artist's intended message, the central theme, or the conceptual basis upon which the artwork is created. Artists often explore and
communicate their concepts through various artistic techniques, symbolism, and visual elements. The concept can encompass a
wide range of subjects, including personal experiences, societal issues, philosophical concepts, or explorations of form, colour,
and composition. It is the conceptual aspect that gives depth and meaning to the artwork beyond its visual representation.

Context: The context of the artist in visual arts encompasses the external factors that surround and influence the creation,
interpretation, and reception of an artwork. It includes the historical, social, cultural, and political circumstances that shape the
artist's perspective and the way the artwork is perceived. The context can also refer to the physical environment or exhibition
space in which the artwork is displayed. Understanding the context is crucial for comprehending the artist's intentions, the
cultural references embedded in the artwork, and the dialogue it engages with the broader artistic, social, or historical discourse.
