Key tactics

  • These passages often come in the Spotlight style either straightforwardly describing an artist or movement's work, or less commonly in the Critique/Debate style describing (or taking part in) a debate about that work's value.
  • When the passage includes multiple viewpoints, the basic direction of those viewpoints (for/against [something] for [this reason]) are worthy of inclusion in your low-res summary.
  • Pay close attention as well to the aesthetic or methodological characteristics ascribed to the art. For example, if the artist uses clay to sculpt abstract depictions of ancient warriors, all those elements are likely to be tested.
