Overview
To situate an artwork is to place it in meaningful relationship with context. But this assessment objective goes deeper than thinking about where something is physically exhibited. In the IB Visual Arts course, to situate means to reflect on and articulate how artworks are informed by, connected to, and received within broader cultural, historical, conceptual, and social contexts.
Understanding this AO encourages students to see themselves and their work as part of a living, evolving conversation, with other artists, with audiences, and with the world.
