The document provides instructions for a comparison task requiring students to:
1) Research one artist before 1990 and one after 1990, studying two artworks by each;
2) Compare and contrast the artworks, analyzing selected works using frameworks;
3) Remember to thoroughly research the artists' contexts and use appropriate terminology when interpreting meanings and messages in the artworks based on symbolism, techniques, and formal elements.
4) A table lists potential pairs of artists to choose from, including Edward Hopper and Anne Wallace, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Gordon Bennett, and Tamara de Lempicka and Yayoi Kusama.

COMPARSION TASK INSTRUCTIONS You are required to: -research at least one artist who worked before 1990 and one artist who worked after 1990; - study at least two artworks by each artist - compare and contrast the artworks of artist/s who worked before and after 1990; - analyse and interpret selected artworks using the Analytical Frameworks - use appropriate art language and terminology Make your choice of one pair of artists from the table on the next page. Things to remember. Read a little about each of the artists so that you gain a clearer idea of their aims and methods before you choose two to study in depth. Most of the research should be self-directed. You only have two artists to study, so there is time for you to locate and select resources, read widely and deeply, and arrive at a thorough understanding of the artists works in their Cultural, Personal and Contemporary contexts. The better you research, the greater your depth of understanding of the artworks, the better you will measure up in the SACs and Exam. When you have selected the artists and artworks, use the Formal Framework to analyse and interpret two of the artworks. You may start on either the before or after 1990 artworks. This analysis will provide you will a solid grounding for the SAC. This needs to be a very thorough analysis and interpretation. Your interpretation of the meaning must be backed up with quotes from your reading preferably the words of the artists themselves, though quotes from reputable writers are often as good. As you analyse the artworks: 1. Write a clear description of the subject matter 2. Analyse and interpret any symbolism in the subject 3. Be selective about which formal elements you analyse. Choose only those that have an impact on the meanings and messages in the artwork. ALWAYS link your analysis of a formal element with the way its use helps to create the meanings and messages in the artwork. 4. Analyse the way technique influences the meanings and messages.
