Case Studies

Your Case Studies form the core of the the information you will need to inform your responses to Section 2 of your HSC exam. The artists listed below supplement the Case Studies covered in class and should allow you to build on  any ‘thesis’ based approach you might want to take to the extended response section of this year’s HSC.

A thesis based approach to responses in Section 2 suggests that you target a specific question type i.e.,

  • Conceptual Framework
  • Frames
  • Practice

By doing so you can focus the information you collect in relation to the artists you study.

Ideally you should have at least 3 artists from either your inclass case studies and/or from the recommended list of online sites;

(best if not from the same media area) and be able to discuss a range of works related to each. You should have a collection of relevant quotes related to either the works or the artists themselves.

Current Case studies to date include;

Banksy

Marian Drew

Gregory Crewdson

Ron Mueck

Ben Quilty

Robert Hughes

William Kentridge

  1. Hi!

    I’m a fellow visual arts teacher and I wanted to congratulate you on your inspirational blog. I hope you don’t think I’m rude for asking, but, I was wondering if you would be at all willing to share your program for the object unit of work (James Cornell)? It looks amazing. Thanks- Alison stewart Nowra Christian School
