17. Artists communicate and express their ideas about their subject in a variety of ways. Identify two works by different artists that you have studied. These should be based on similar subject matter and/or the same theme. With reference to these works in your answer, compare each artist’s use of: colour media handling and techniques mood and atmosphere. Which of the two works do you find most appealing? Give two reasons. 10

Are these paintings like the two artists’ other work?1 In what ways is one artist’s work more realistic than the other? 1 Do the artists use their materials (media) differently?1 Which composition has more objects and does this make it busier than the other? 1 Is there a focal point in each painting? Why does it stand out?1 Which artist uses tone to describe form (three dimensions)1 Is one colour, or range of colours, dominant in any of the paintings; describe the colours (are they hot or cold colours?) 1 Can you see brushstrokes or other textures? 1 Which painting and artist do you prefer?Why? 2 10
