Describe, Analyse, Evaluate

Overview

Understanding the difference between description, analysis, and evaluation is essential for developing strong writing in IB Visual Arts. These three steps move students from observing what they see, to explaining how it works, to judging why it matters.

This card provides structured guidance, model examples, and practical exercises to help students strengthen their reflections and annotations.

Hi there,

Thanks for signing up! It’s lovely to have you here.

Art-Ed Hub is more than just a resource bank; it’s a growing space for creative inquiry, thoughtful teaching, and the kind of soulful exploration that often gets lost in the rush of curriculum and outcomes. Whether you’re here for the IB Visual Arts support, the creative prompts, or just a bit of inspiration, I hope you find something that resonates.

Every now and then, I’ll drop into your inbox with new resources, reflections, or behind-the-scenes updates. Nothing overwhelming, just things I genuinely think are worth sharing.

Warm wishes,
Nikki
Founder, Art-Ed Hub
