Just wondering if a question asks for us to refer to ‘a range of artists, art critics and/or art historians’ or ‘a range of artists, designers and/or architect’, would we need to refer to all those specified or just artists?

You'll mainly want to refer to a range of artists. If possible, refer to art critics too if they are relevant to your selected artists.

Hey! I have a question about how many artists I should be used in section 2.
I usually use 2 artists and 2 artworks ("one artist and one of their artwork" x2) and I've managed to get full marks (or v close) using this format in school.
However, I'm noticing that people are usually using 2 artworks and 4+ artworks for their essays. I'm not sure whether to change my structure for the HSC as external markers could mark differently.
What would you recommend?
Thank you

Hi!! I'm doing the HSC too this year!! For my essay I'm preparing to write 3 artists (Ai Wei Wei, Alex Seton and Bouchra Khalili) and referring to 2 artworks each :)
My class and I have been doing that all year because my teacher recommended us to write in this pattern, but regardless, 2 artist is very good too! If you can manage it: mentioning an additional artwork or even an artist would benefit your essay but mentioning 2 artists and 2 artworks in depth will give you as equally amazing marks!

In relation to the BOW, how specific should your concept be?
Is it better to have a broader concept and focus on all the different aspects within that concept or just focus on one specific aspect of that concept?
Thanks ;D

Hey, sunflowah!
There’s no correct answer here since it depends on how you choose to execute it. You could have a broad concept which lends it to various interpretations from your audience (since we as people have vastly different experiences and will react to art differently). On the other hand, you could do equally as well with a narrow focus and strengthening the details within that focus to generate meaning and ideas. Regardless of which direction you take, you should have layers of meaning in your BOW, something Bea really emphasises in this article!
At the end of the day, it’s entirely up to how you want your BOW to be received and what will work best for your particular conceptual practice. Let us know what you were thinking of doing and we can provide more suggestions!
