Creative Arts Assignment

TASK DESCRIPTION

The Inquiry may be presented in written, oral, or multi-model form in negotiation with the teacher. It is a maximum of 2000 words if written or 12 minutes for an oral presentation, or the equivalent in multimodal form.
Acknowledgement of sources is not included in the word-count. Students will conduct one in-depth inquiry into a creative arts practitioner, focusing on at least two of their products. Students will be required to conduct primary research for their area of inquiry such as an interview, observations of a performance, practicing skills learnt and/or attending a workshop. This inquiry will not repeat skills and knowledge gained through their products but can be in the same discipline.

ESSENTIAL VOCABULARY

Use of subject specific vocabulary/terminology is essential and needs to be related to your specific topic
