I found this exam pretty easy... and that's strange considering art is my worst subject, every exam I've struggled with understanding questions and with time.

Q1 - 1page
Q2 - 2 pages
Q3 - 2 1/2 pages
Q9 - 4 pages

I chose Q9 which was like "Postmodern is just a critical display of breaking conventions and rules" Discuss this. Something along those lines. I used Patricia Piccinini, Andy Goldsworthy and Jeffs Coons as my artists (was going to add Yayoi Kusama but didn't have the time).

I'm not sure if that was enough writing for the 1.5 hours... but I did A LOT better than I have done in previous exams so I'm happy

I waffled on with that question actually, because when they ask you to draw meaning from an artwork, you can bullshit till the cows come home. Doesn't mean what I wrote was correct haha, probably far from.

Also, I did 1pg for Q1, 2pg for Q2 and 3 for Q3 and I chose Q9 and did 9 pages

 

[maryjill]

[crashedann]

Q1 - 1.5 pages
Q2 - 3 pages
Q3 - 5 pages

Q8 - 11-12 pages

How do people use so many artists within 5 pages? I only did 3 in detail and briefly mentioned a few others.

it seems likely your writing is freaking huge or you waffle on

plenty can be accomplished with 5 pages

My writing is pretty huge - about 4-5 words a line.

For question 3 in section 1 ... what area of the frames was it referring to? I thought it meant all of them.. when i got out i asked my class and every had done a different frame to answer it. What frame did you guys figure it out to be?

I focused more on cultural & then structural

Laced a bit of subjective into it

 

[kalibali]

I focused more on cultural and subjective through structural frame.
