Case 2
What students learn
- to identify and frame appropriate questions
- to appreciate that all research and interpretation is dependent
on a number of variables including age, gender, ethnicity, sexuality,
and education
- to write a report
And more...
a) acknowledge the importance of our culture in how we understand
the world around us;
b) understand that images of places or people are the outcome of a
social process that involves unequal social relations;
c) understand that the production of images is loaded with cultural
meaning; and
d) develop an awareness that we all 'see' the world in a particular
way based upon our own cultural heritage and personal biography.
What is needed
- Specific images are provided that depict a range of social and geographical
knowledges
- A list of questions are provided to give students a framework from
which to build their understanding of how to critique
- They then have to apply these independently by choosing their own
images and selecting questions from the list provided that are appropriate.
How it is done
The practicals are organised over two week blocks where students are
first taught a particular skill and then they apply that skill independently
in the second week.
Some questions about production To help students
contextualise the image
- When was it made?
- Where was it made?
- Who made it?
- Was it made for someone else?
Taken Away was commissioned from Sally Morgan in 1988 by the
National Gallery of Australia, Canberra for a Bicentennial Portfolio.
Technological
What technologies does its production depend on?
- The original artwork was a colour silkscreen on paper.

Social
- What were the social identities of the maker, the owner and subject
of the text?
- What are the relations between the maker, the owner and the subject?
Aesthetic
- Does the form of the image address these identities and relations
of its production?
Students are also given a framework on how to write a report with
examples from past students' work. They are asked to assess whether
the student met the criteria appropriately.
The examples, questions, and report writing format are all clearly
written up in a handbook for students to access with examples from students
for each eg analysis of an image and a report.
