Common assessment #1: Art History

Throughout time, artists have built upon each other’s influence. An artist can view a work from the past

and become inspired to build on ideas and develop a unique approach of his/her own. Select an artwork
you have created so far in 8th VA COMP. Compare this artwork with an artist's artwork(s) from the
past/present and answer the following questions:

-Who is the influencing artist and why was/is their work impactful? (at least 5 sentences)

-What is similar about your work and the artist's work? What is different?

(focus on style, media, subject matter, purpose and outside influences)

-Do you think this artist would have liked your work? Why or why not? (at least 2 sentences)

You can do this through:

-a written 3 paragraph essay

-a compare and contrast chart

-a powerpoint or similar presentation

-a sticky note visual with commentary
-a recorded interview on camera
