evaluating and analysing work

Following the five headings and using the phrases on this sheet will make your evaluations better, and help you show you understand how to improve the quality of your work.
Don't forget you also need to analyse the work of other artists. Choose five questions at random to add information to research pages; when fully analysing a piece of artist's work try and answer every single question - look at the example projects to see how this works.
