Modernism and Gender Issues

For the Grade 11s ........

The emphasis on the formal elements of art is the essence of ‘Modernism’.

Artists make COLOUR, SPACE and SHAPE (for e.g.) the subject matter of Art.

While we investigate this, we will also look at the theme of Women in Art which will tie in with your Grade 12 curriculum, and could link with your practical work this term.

Memo for the Grade 12 June Exam

For the Grade 12s ....

You will have your June Question Paper to keep and use as a textbook resource. On the cover is a QR code to the Memo below. The answers to the 'unseen' analyses are in the memo so that you can add them to your library of chosen works that you have studied. If you have any questions - please see Mrs Moore or email studio@dghs.co.za

Many of the questions are similar to those from past papers so you can get used to the style of questioning.

The idea of answering in paragraphs (without headings) that start with topic sentences, is integral to a successful answer.
