SAHT9204 Essay Questions contemporary Creative 代写
Essay Questions
1. Consider the ways contemporary artists and/or designers challenge the ways that we define and
categorise humans (gender, race, sexuality, science, etc.). Using three or four examples from the last
20 years discuss new ways of understanding what a ‘human’ is.
2. Discuss how rebellion is used in contemporary art and/or design to critique and rupture structures,
identities and meanings. Using three or four examples from the last 20 years evaluate the success (or
failure) of rebellion as a creative method.
3. In postmodern and digital contexts, the new is constantly being ‘hacked’ out of the old. Borrowing,
stealing, recycling, appropriating and collaging are dominant creative strategies in contemporary art
and design. Using three or four examples from the last 20 years, critically analyse ‘remix culture.’
4. In the response to events like the Global Financial Crisis, the “Age of Terror” and climate change,
many artist and designers are producing works that attempt to (re)build and redefine communities.
Focusing on three or four examples from the last 20 years discuss how creative practices can generate

Created: 29 June 2017 5
communities which resonate, critique and engage with global issues.
5. Postmodern and contemporary art, design and theory critically examine the coercive aspects of
desire production. How, who, what and when we desire is understood to be largely formed by external
influences (education, media, language, medicine, politics). Using three or four examples from the last
20 years demonstrate how and why one of these external influences is critiqued.
Assessment Task 1
Title: Visual Analysis
Weighting: 30 %
Assessment type: Extended Writing Task
Word count: 800
Requires group work: No
Assessment summary
This assessment is linked to the second assessment and is designed to develop skills in visual
analysis. It will provide you with feedback that you can use for your main essay. Visual analysis
comprises the majority of content in art and design essays and is used to support your claims. Visual
analysis is also a vital tool for assessing and reflecting on your own practice.
For this assessment you are to do the following:
1. Choose an essay question from below (this is the question you will answer for assessment two).
2. Select ONE of the examples associated with your chosen question (list of examples on Moodle).
3. Write a visual analysis of your chosen example (600 words).
4. Find two examples of your own choice and write a brief statement (100 words per example)
detailing how each relates to the question.
5. Produce a bibliography.
Your visual analysis must contain formal analysis, critical analysis and an argument which relates to the
question. Make sure that you can demonstrate how your argument is supported by your analysis.
Research into the example is required to contextualize and deepen your analysis, but you can also
speculate meaning based on your visual reading. In other words, you should use your research
findings and observations to make your own evidenced claims about the work. Use Footnote /
Bibliography or 'Oxford' referencing style (https://student.unsw.edu.au/footnote-bibliography-or-oxford-
referencing-system)
You can use this visual analysis as part of your main essay, however you should edit and refine it
based on your assessor’s comments.
