SECTION A

2c) Assess this design in comparison with another prestigious arts centre project which also promotes cultural identity.

2b) What relationship does this work have with the status of the arts in Singapore?

2a) How does this architectural structure and its appearance relate to the local environment?

Step 1: Question Analysis

This question asks you to identify which other prominent art centre to compare with The Esplanade. You need to introduce the building by giving a background. Then describe and analyse the form in terms of its architectural structure. Lastly, ‘Assess’ (evaluate) the designs of the two buildings in terms of its purpose and how it promotes cultural identity in its own country.

This question asks you to explain and elaborate your understanding of the status of the arts in Singapore and define the role in which The Esplanade plays.

This question asks you to provide a critical point of view on how The Esplanade relates to its local environment in terms of location - the Marina Bay area and the Singapore River. (IMPORTANT NOTE: You still need to do a Description and Analysis of the structure before you write your critical viewpoint)

Step 2: Plan your points

Suggested Steps:

▪ Introduce the other arts centre (E.g The Sydney Opera House or The Lourve) Give a background information in terms of its origins.

▪ Describe the building’s architectural features.

▪ Analysing the building’s forms discuss the building’s architectural inspirations.

▪ Evaluate both buildings in terms of these criteria –

1) Purpose

2) How each arts centre promotes cultural identity in their respective country of origin.

Suggested Steps:

▪ Introduce ‘The Esplanade’ building in terms of its origins. (E.g. The Esplanade is a waterfront location just north of the mouth of the Singapore River in downtown Singapore. It is primarily occupied by the Esplanade Park, and was the venue where one of Singapore's largest congregation of satay outlets until their relocation to Clarke Quay as a result of the construction of a major performance arts venue, the Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay, which took its name from this location.)

▪ Describing and Analysing the architectural features.

▪ Discuss the building’s architectural structure and appearance to how ‘The Esplanade’ relates to its local environment.

2007 GCE A Level SOVA QUESTIONS ANS GUIDES

SECTION A

1c) Compare this image with a piece of work by a Singaporean artist painted in a realist style.

1b) Comment on the use of materials by the artist.

1a) Assess the use of realism in this work.

Step 1: Question Analysis

This question asks for the similarities and differences between Chuck Close’s work and another work done by a Singaporean artist who paints in a realistic style. You may compare Close with Chua Mia Tee, Lai Kui Fang or Georgette Chen.

(IMPORTANT NOTE: Although you may compare using any part of the Feldman model, it is important to begin from the basic Description and Analysis before doing any form of Interpretation or Evaluation)

‘Comment’ is basically a chance for you to give an opinion on Chuck Close’s ‘use of materials’. You can also write about his style and technique in relation to his artistic intentions. A brief introduction on some background information on Realism/realism will give your answers more depth. You can refer to the SOVA Exam Guide to obtain this info. (IMPORTANT NOTE: You should relate your answers to Close’s photorealistic approaches giving your answer a proper context)

You need to define what realism is and in the context of Chuck Close, explain what photorealism is. You also need to identify that ‘Assess’ refers to ‘Evaluation’. You need to show your understanding of photorealism and how it relates to Chuck Close showing evidence of how the artist used photorealism in order to do your evaluation. These evidences will be in a form of your description, analysis and interpretation. (IMPORTANT NOTE: You should not do an evaluation without the doing the earlier steps of the Feldman Model)

Step 2: Plan your points

Suggested Steps:

▪ Introduce your selected Singaporean realistic artist by giving a brief introduction of the artist’s background, philosophy, choice of subject matter, themes, style and techniques. (It is always important to have a proper introduction no matter how long or short it may be).

▪ Explain why you chose the selected artist to compare with Chuck Close. You may explain by comparing the different philosophy between the 2 artists or you may compare the choice of subject matter or style by each artist. (E.g. Chua Mia Tee is from the Realist school and he believed that art should reflect real life but his style of realism is very different from that of Close as it is not of photorealistic quality. Chua strives to record daily life of ordinary Singaporeans as well as nostalgic landscapes whose existence is threatened by development and modernisation. Whereas for Close, he paints people who are personal to him like his friends and family, featuring them up close and larger than life. This is unconventional as typically large portraits usually feature famous people).

▪ Describe and Analyse (EOA & POAD) at least 1 artwork done by your selected artist.

▪ You may choose to add an Interpretation here.

Suggested Steps:

▪ Introduce Chuck Close giving a brief introduction of the artist’s style and approaches.

▪ Describing the painting in greater detail in terms of subject matter, medium and form.

▪ Analysing his photorealistic style according to the painting’s description also in EOA & POAD.

▪ State Chuck Close’s artistic intention and why did he paint his self portrait in that manner.

▪ Interpreting the painting by focusing on how realism is used to achieve his artistic intention.

▪ Evaluate on whether the use of realism is effective. You need to establish the criteria of realism and whether or not this painting qualifies as an effective representation of realism. (E.g For a painting to qualify as a realistic work of art it has to be first and foremost – representational, something that viewers can visually identify with what they are seeing. A realistic work of art has to represent something in its true likeness showing off the technical ability of the artist.

Suggested Steps:

▪ Introduce Chuck Close giving a brief introduction of the artist’s style and approaches.

▪ Describing the painting in greater detail in terms of subject matter, medium and form.

▪ Analysing his photorealistic style according to the painting’s description also in EOA & POAD.

▪ State Chuck Close’s artistic intention and why did he paint his self portrait in that manner.

▪ Interpreting the painting by focusing on how realism is used to achieve his artistic intention.

(E.g For a painting to qualify as a realistic work of art it has to be first and foremost – representational. Viewers can visually identify with what they are seeing. A realistic work of art has to represent something in its true likeness showing off the technical ability of the artist.)

Suggested Steps:

▪ Introduce briefly about the arts in Singapore. (E.g

▪ Explain the role that ‘The Esplanade’ plays in the arts in Singapore.

▪ Elaborate on how whether the relationship between ‘The Esplanade’ and the arts in Singapore has been a positive or negative one.
