Title: 2 artists
Post by: dcesaona on October 09, 2018, 03:33:33 pm
I know I've already asked this, but I'll ask it again hahaha
Is it okay if I only talk about 2 artists in my hsc exam? My whole class are only doing 2, that's the way we've been taught by our teacher. Plus, our analysis of the 2 artworks and their artworks are very in depth and informative. Will I get marked down if I only write about 2?

Also, have they ever in the past specified how many artists they want you to write about in an essay?

Thanks.

I think it's totally fine! I've seen exemplars with only 2 artists 2 artworks so there's no reason why should get marked down if your analysis is sufficient. I am also doing 2 artists 2 artworks and I have a couple backup (that I used for trials) just in case my artists don't fit a question, which is unlikely anyway.
I don't think they've ever specified how many artists to use, someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

Hope this helps!
