GENERAL GUIDELINES
1 CALCULATIONS

1.1 Marks will be awarded for: correct formula, correct substitution, correct answer  with unit. 
1.2 No marks will be awarded if an incorrect or inappropriate formula is used, even  though there are many relevant symbols and applicable substitutions. 
1.3 When an error is made during substitution into a correct formula, a mark will be  awarded for the correct formula and for the correct substitutions, but no further  marks will be given. 
1.4 If no formula is given, but all substitutions are correct, a candidate will forfeit  one mark.  
1.5 No penalisation if zero substitutions are omitted in calculations where correct formula/principle is correctly given. 
1.6 Mathematical manipulations and change of subject of appropriate formulae carry no  marks, but if a candidate starts off with the correct formula and then changes the  subject of the formula incorrectly, marks will be awarded for the formula and correct  substitutions. The mark for the incorrect numerical answer is forfeited. 
1.7 Marks are only awarded for a formula if a calculation has been attempted, i.e.  substitutions have been made or a numerical answer given. 
1.8 Marks can only be allocated for substitutions when values are substituted into  formulae and not when listed before a calculation starts. 
1.9 All calculations, when not specified in the question, must be done to a minimum of  two decimal places. 
1.10 If a final answer to a calculation is correct, full marks will not automatically be  awarded. Markers will always ensure that the correct/appropriate formula is used  and that workings, including substitutions, are correct. 
1.11 Questions where a series of calculations have to be made (e.g. a circuit diagram  question) do not necessarily always have to follow the same order. FULL MARKS  will be awarded provided it is a valid solution to the problem. However, any  calculation that will not bring the candidate closer to the answer than the original  data, will no count any marks. 

2 UNITS

2.1 Candidates will only be penalised once for the repeated use of an incorrect unit  within a question. 
2.2 Units are only required in the final answer to a calculation. 
2.3 Marks are only awarded for an answer, and not for a unit per se. Candidates will  therefore forfeit the mark allocated for the answer in each of the following situations:

• • Correct answer + wrong unit
  • Wrong answer + correct unit
  • Correct answer + no unit 

2.4 SI units must be used except in certain cases, e.g. V.m^-1instead of N.C^-1, and cm∙s-¹ or km.h^-1instead of m∙s^-1 where the question warrants this. 

3 GENERAL

3.1 If one answer or calculation is required, but two are given by the candidate, only the  first one will be marked, irrespective of which one is correct. If two answers are  required, only the first two will be marked, etc. 
3.2 For marking purposes, alternative symbols (s, u, t etc) will also be accepted. 
3.3 Separate compound units with a multiplication dot, no a full stop, for example, m∙s^-1. For marking purposes, m∙s^-1 and m/s will also be accepted. 

4 POSITIVE MARKING
Positive marking regarding calculations will be followed in the following cases: 

4.1 Subquestion to subquestion: When a certain variable is calculated in one  subquestion (e.g. 3.1) and needs to be substituted in another (3.2 of 3.3), e.g. if the  answer for 3.1 is incorrect and is substituted correctly in 3.2 or 3.3, full marks are to  be awarded for the subsequent subquestions. 
4.2 A multistep question in a subquestion: If the candidate has to calculate, for  example, current in die first step and gets it wrong due to a substitution error, the  mark for the substitution and the final answer will be forfeited. 

5 NEGATIVE MARKING
Normally an incorrect answer cannot be correctly motivated if based on a conceptual  mistake. If the candidate is therefore required to motivate in QUESTION 3.2 the answer  given in QUESTION 3.1, and 3.1 is incorrect, no marks can be awarded for  QUESTION 3.2. However, if the answer for e.g. 3.1 is based on a calculation, the  motivation for the incorrect answer could be considered.

MEMORANDUM

QUESTION 1 
THE VOICE OF EMERGING ARTISTS 

1.1 

Choose TWO artworks from FIGURE 1a, FIGURE 1b and FIGURE 1c and in  separate paragraphs explain how the artists produced work that reflects a  commentary on the daily lives of the communities within which they lived. 
Refer to the following: 

• Composition 
• Application of art elements
• Medium and technique 
• Evident influences on the styles 
• Lifestyle atmosphere 

In FIGURE 1a:  
Composition: The viewer’s eye catches the Zulu man’s portrait (head and  shoulders) figure from an oblique view detaching the viewer’s eye contact from that  of the old man who from his posture seems to be engrossed/engaged in a  communicative dialogue with an unseen person on his right. The centrally placed  figure is delicately painted in warm yellow red earthly browns which viewed against  flat cool creamy browns renders him our focal point of study. 
Art elements: 
Colours: Warm earthly browns add to the feeling of Africaness of the portrait.
Line: Soft fine delicate lines define the forms while at the same time enriching  the textural qualities of the regalia to enhance the naturalness of the  figure and to suggest that the artist worked on a live model. 
Forms: The fact the posture gives the figure three dimensionality also makes the  represented features more natural and realistic. 
Medium and Technique: Watercolour paint Brushstrokes are smooth. There is smooth tone integration that adds to the fine  definition of the dress and facial features. 
Influences on style: Western influence – Naturalism 
Lifestyle atmosphere: Calming – Rural traditional calm atmosphere 

Gerard Bhengu was an artist well known for his realistic representations of ethnic  culture and life as a Zulu. He was encouraged to develop his natural skills but  struggled to study art because of the lack of opportunities.as a result of Apartheid.  The artwork in FIGURE 1a is a portrait of a Zulu man, done with watercolour paint.  His use of colour was sepia as he could not afford to buy other colours. His  technique is described as conservative naturalism but the uniqueness of his work  can be found in the subject itself. 

In FIGURE 1b: Dumile Feni, Father teach me how to pray, Conté crayon on  paper. 
Composition: The composition is a predominantly vertical structural thereby  affirming the feeling of strength and power that the father in the upper part of  the format has over his son below. The work comprises of two scenes that  deny it a central area of focus. The scene at the top is broadly representative  a disgruntled family with of an irresponsible (half dressed) who deprives and  drinks away the baby’s milk. The mother is away leaving the cow to take her  place only to be taken advantage of by the father. Below the son drawn in  profile frustrated moans their situation seeking divine intervention but not  knowing how; hence the title: ‘Father teach me how to pray’ 
Applying of art elements:  
Strong tonal values are applied which emphasise certain aspects of the piece  such as the figures and animals. 
Strong expressive line is used to distort the forms adding to the mood of  chaos. 
Technique: Works primarily with graphic art in monochromatic hues, the artist  had the ability and vision to transform the particular into the universal, with conté-crete on paper. Strong contrasts of dark shadows against the left out  white areas illuminate the figures to give them a dream-like quality. 
Evident influences on the style:  

• Cecil Skotnes who introduced him to the medium of conté and helped him  to develop his drawing techniques. 
• Surrealism –They were executed spontaneously, according to the artist's  subconscious thoughts and vision. They are, nevertheless,  comprehensible, and for the viewer infused with poignant significance.

Lifestyle atmosphere: The content of these drawings were based on social  realism, dealing chiefly with the social conditions and problems affecting the  Black man’s identity in the urban South African setting. They carry an  atmosphere of a dream-like narrative 
Feni’s expressive abilities are unique and powerful. He was capable of  surpassing his immediate circumstances by portraying what he experienced  on a universally understandable level. Through this he was able to  communicate his understanding of human suffering.  
Western influence: Surrealism.

FIGURE 1c: George Pemba, New Brighton Port Elizabeth 1977, oil on canvas. 
Composition: Pemba’s composition starts close to viewer and stretches into the  distance. His position is in the middle of the street on what appears to  be an island. Many people are painted in profile or their backs to the  viewer as if they are going about their daily lives without being aware  of the onlooker. Most of the composition is filled with street homes  and people are closest to the viewer in the foreground. The band of  light blue sky leads the eye towards the city in the distance. 
Applying of art elements:  
Use of bright colours: 

• The contrast of warm and cold colours adds to the vibrant feeling of the community - The diagonals in the people suggest movement and activity 
• Use of linear perspective with houses to create depth; Placement and size of figures  also create depth 

Technique: Pemba used visible brush marks that contribute to the three  dimensionality of forms such as the trees, bushes and figures. He puts  paint on with a constant texture and uses brush marks tot create  roundness in his shapes. 
Evident influences on the style:  

• Professor Austin Winter Moore at Rhodes University 
• Dorothy Kay with her naturalistic and realistic style 
• Gerard Sekoto and Koenakeefe Mohl both encouraged him to become a full-time  artist and to pay more attention to his immediate surroundings 
• Impressionism – Pemba summarised his paintings according to what he saw  and experienced 

Lifestyle atmosphere: Everyday township street scene, bustling and energetic 
Marks must be allocated for mentioning that the subject matter for all three  figures is everyday life in South Africa. 

1.2 The learner must choose TWO well-known Black artists who deliver social, economic or commentary in their art works and discuss in 1–1½ pages, ONE work of each  which he/she has studied. 
The following must be included: 

• Names of artists and works 
• Inspiration and influences on their work 
• Specific subject matter
• Composition, technique and style 
• Evaluation of success of the work as commentary 

The discussion of the work by the artists is of importance and so is the learner’s  substantiation of the success accomplished by each artist. 
Award marks for each of the two works as from 5 + 5. (10)

[20]

QUESTION 2 
SOUTH AFRICAN ARTISTS INFLUENCED BY AFRICAN AND/OR INDIGENOUS  ART FORMS 

2.1 With the above in mind, write a short essay of two paragraphs in which you  anlyse and intepret FIGURE 2a and FIGURE 2b to show how each of the  artists has succeeded in capturing the essence of Africa in a different context.  Refer to the following: 

• Media and technique
• Composition
• Colour 
• Subject matter 

FIGURES 2a: 

Media and technique: Black and white photography 
Composition: Triangular composition. Fgures placed in centre which is the  focal point. 
Symbols: Graffiti on walls portryaing white Afrikaner poverty, Masks (Africa  influence) 
Colour: Black and white could be refferring to the forgotten and unseen or to  the notion of contemporary Africaness which refers to Africaness as being a  state of conscioussness thus accommodating both Black and White born and  living in Africa. 
Subject matter: The forgotten and unseen impoverished white Afrikaner in  rural South Africa. 
Die Antwoord Series. Roger Ballan uses black and white photography to  communicate certain characteristics of the white Afrikaner’s life in poverty  stricken rural South Africa. The figures in the photograph are wearing masks  that resemble primitive African masks and the graffiti on the walls resemble  native cave drawings. This highlights the primitiveness of rural life in South  Africa. 

FIGURE 2b: Irma Stern, Pondo Woman, 1929, oil on canvas. 

Media and technique: Oil paint on canvas, use of loose brushstrokes, lively Composition: Triangular composistion; female figure placed in middle which  is the focal point 
Symbols: Traditional African dress and jewelry  
Colour: Lots of browns and yellows (seen as harsh) 
Subject matter: Pondo woman thinking (6)
The work Pondo Woman is an example of a figure study which simplified  facial features, hair style, decorative beadwork and traditional clothing  dominated the portrayal of the woman. This represents a type instead of the  individual. The attitude of the woman is turned inwards. She is pensive, as if  she is idle or busy daydreaming. The fact that the woman looked down,  created a barrier between her and the viewer; her personality is hidden and  therefore contributes to the stereotypical version of the woman. Like most of her portrait and figure studies, Stern placed the topic centrally in the  composition. This is similar to Western portraits. The influence of German  Expressionism is clearly evident, especially with the naked figure and the  busy background. 

2.2 Refer to FIGURE 2c. Discuss Andries Botha’s work with specific focus to the  following: 

• Formal elements of art  
• Theme message 
• Mood as related to Africa 

The elephant herd installation at Panne beach in Belgium was created with 14  different types of wood collected from dead trees in Kwa-Zulu Natal or pieces  of wood that had fallen from a tree. The wood has been carved and screwed  in to place on a metal structure. This piece comments on the effects  colonialism have had on Africa. How capitalism and commercialism has taken  its toll on traditional culture, the natural environment and the animals that  inhabit it. The elephant links to memory – they never forget – so they  symbolise a memory. A memory of man’s domination of nature where animals  have become trophies in Africa. (6) 

2.3 Choose ONE work (other than works that appear in this question paper) by a  South African artist that reflects African/Indigenous influence and in at least ½  a page analyse and evaluate the extent to which it reflects this influence by  referring to the following: 
The following must be included: 

• Names of artists and their works 
• Application of formal art elements 
• Theme/message 
• Mood as related to Africa 

Award marks for each of the two works as from 3 + 3. (6)

[20]

QUESTION 3 
SOCIO-POLITICAL ART – INCLUDING RESISTANCE ART 

Write an essay of about one page in which you prove the above statement true by  analysing FIGURE 3a, FIGURE 3b and FIGURE 3c with reference to the following: 

• Hisorical context and subject matter 
• Use of formal art elements and composition 
• Materials and techniques 
• Message or meaning. 

3.1 FIGURE 3a – Hisorical context and subject matter 
This painting celebrated the day, during the 1830 Revolution in France, that the  people rose and fought for their liberty. Delacroix used the painting as a political  poster for the revolution. Delacroix was a member of the National Gaurd, and he  placed himself into the picture as the man on the left wearing a top-hat (close-up  shown below). Liberty is portrayed as a majestic woman with the flag and gun  leading the people against the king’s soldiers. The heroicism of the people of Paris  is represented in scenes like the street boy with pistols, the worker with his sword  and the intellectual with his top hat. 

Max. 3 

• Formal art elements and composition
  In true romaticist style, Delacroix’s subject matter is informed by individual creativity as guided by passion to create emotional drama. The composition is based on  dramatic diagonals as evinced in the charging womans body posture, her arm  holding the flag as countered by the angle of the flag stick; the boys posture and  arms holding the pistols;the posture of the legs of the stripped naked figure, the  angle of the gun held by the man all intensfying the drama and movement in the  work.The action is congested taking up the lower portion of the canvas where dead  figures in the front form the basis of a triangular composition. The rich blue, Red  and white in the clothes and the flag mixed with the yellows, browns and purples  rendered in free brushstrokes all add to the intensity of emotion in the work. The  background on the left is filled with hazy crowd of protesters while perspective on  the right is halted by the clouds and smoke of the cannons adding to the explosive  atmosphere.Max. 4
• Materials and techniques 
  Dalacroix used enriching quality of complementary colours banishing black from his  pallete while using violets and greens for shadows. His loose brush strokes added  vibrancy to the colours while at the same time increasing the intensity of the  emotion of battle, life, agony, and death in the work. Max. 2 
• Message and Meaning 
  People’s uprisings will always prevail over authoritariandictatorial regimes. (Accept  any answer along the folowing lines.) Max. 1

FIGURE 3b:  

Historical events: Commentary on American military actions presumably in  Central America/Vietnam. In Interrogation III the complete vulnerability of the  woman is evident as she is blindfolded and tied up. She is being interrogated and  tortured by two policemen/soldiers.  
ART ELEMENTS: Golub created his work on un-stretched canvas like banners  hanging on walls. 
Line: Line that alludes to Cezanne’s representation of structure is used to represent  the interrogators gruesomeness of their torture. 
Forms: The interrogating forms lack three-dimensionality creating a feeling of the  inhumanness of their nature and their determination to dehumanise their  victim 
Texture: His painting technique itself depicts a kind of exposure as he layered the  paint over the figures and strips parts away with solution and then  scratches over it to create a hard rough textural mottled look of the skin  that speaks of the hardness and brutality of the interrogators while at  same time revealing the harsh bruise and scratches on the body of their  victim. 
Colour: Colours used are pale dark grey blues purples. The victim’s body is  represented in pale purple to a feeling of gloom and bleak future for the  victim. 
Space: The background is painted in flat pale light purple echoed in a slightly dark  hue of the victim creating flatness of a wall thereby giving the victim no  chance of escape. 
Materials: Acrylic on canvas stripped with solution and scratched not only reduces  the chromatic effect of the paint but leaves a pale-harsh and bleak  atmosphere.  
Message and meaning:  
The victim is a woman, mauled with seeming sexual intent by two clothed men as  she sits nude, handcuffed, legs wide open on a mat. As she is the only female in  the “Interrogation” cycle, she inevitably comes off as a general symbol of male  oppression as well as a specific object of terrorism in a particular situation.

FIGURE 3c: 

Hisorical context and subject matter: Graffiti done in 2005–2007 in Isreal and  Palestine. Commenting on the ongoing war between these two contries. 
Use of formal art elements and composition: The man and the flower wrapping  are painted in black and white, the flowers and stems in colour. 
Materials and techniques: Pre-made stencills, spraypainted on to walls/canvas – graffiti style. 
Message or meaning: There is anger and frustration in the posture of the man,  bombing the establishment with flowers. The flowers represent hope and a  peaceful resolution of conflicts. 
Banksy is the pseudonym of the famous British graffiti artist. His political and social  commentary has showcased on streets, buildings and bridges worldwide. With  regard to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict he created works on the Palestinian side of  the wall in 2005 and again in 2007. According to Banksy his artwork transforms the  Palestinian side of the wall into the world’s largest prison. He comments that this  segregation is a travesty. In FIGURE 3c the petrol bomb is replaced by a bouquet  of flowers. (10) 

3.2 In two individual paragraphs of half a page each, the learner must evaluate TWO  artworks which has been studied, portraying in an intelligible manner the following: 

• Names of artist and work in each paragraph 
• Description of composition  
• The relevance of the art principles applied 
• An analysis explaining the issues addressed by the artist  
• An evaluation of the success of the approach of the artist (10)

[20]

QUESTION 4 
ART, CRAFT AND SPIRITUAL WORKS MAINLY FROM RURAL SOUTH AFRICA 

4.1 With reference to the statement above, analyse and interpret the given  FIGURES 4a and 4b by writing an essay of 1 ½ to 2 pages, in addition to  Figures 4a and 4b also choose ONE artwork of your choice and ONE craft  piece (from a rural area) of your choice to explain when an object can be  classified as art. Refer to the following in your essay: 

• Elements of Art 
• Functionality 
• Mediums 
• Traditional use 
• Religious and Spiritual elements 
• Titles 
• Subject matter 

Marks will be allocated as follows: 

• 3 Marks for introduction which deals with your views on the question.
• 16 Marks for insightful commentary on the four artworks.
• 1 Mark for very short conclusion 

FIGURE 4A: 
Elements of Art: 
Form: The bowl takes the spherical form of a traditional Xhosa/Zulu bowl  which, though methods and techniques differ, went through similar,  processes of extraction, processing, kneading, moulding and firing as  used in the creation of any is spherical bowl made using modern  ceramic making processes. Thus it can be ‘art’ or ‘craft’ depending on  the perspective one views it from. 
Colour: Most Zulu pots are blackened after the firing; this is largely for ritualistic  purposes as the ancestors hide in dark, shady places. In time, through  daily use, the pots develop a warm, brown, glossy patina characteristic  of Zulu pots. This process alludes to the glazing process that adorns  the modern ceramic pieces. The fact that the processes differ does not  negate the classification of craft pieces. Art not defined by a specific  process but by any process that results in the outcome being visually  aesthetic.
Patterns: The patterns and decoration on the pots vary according to family  and region. Usually one can distinguish two styles of decoration:  incised decoration and raised decoration. The Nala family has  incorporated both styles into their pots. Though the craft of the  making and decorating the bowl is passed on from generation to  generation to affirm its traditional identity, it these patterns that  entrench it into the realm of art.  
Functionality: Its function as a bowl is as good as any modern ceramic bowl  that falls under the real of art, though it can be categorised as craft  art 
Mediums: Although art is about creativity, the aspect of reproduction that  characterises the passing on the craft from generation to  generation does not differ much from the reproductive process that  characterises the reproduction of modern ceramic art pieces or  prints. 
Traditional use: Traditionally, three sizes were most common: the large  Imbiza pot was used for brewing, the Ukhamba pot used for  serving and the Umancishana pot size was used for cooking  meat, storing water and grain and for drinking sour milk 
Religious and spiritual elements: After meeting archaeologist, Len van  Schalkwyk, and seeing pottery dating from the Iron age, Nala was influenced  by the use of pattern by her ancestors. Nesta has passed the family’s pot making tradition to her daughters, Jabu, Thembi and Zanele. Although each  daughter has her own particular style, they all sign their work; a feature  unique to Zulu potters. Today, the tradition has passed on to their daughters,  and thus continuing the Nala legacy. 
Titles: Ukhamba Ceramic Piece – Ukhamba is Zulu for the pot that beer is  served in. 
Subject matter: The serving of beer is a very important part of Zulu culture.  The artist wanted to preserve this tradition. 
Accept any other logical and substantiated discussion and evaluation.

FIGURE 4B: 

FIGURE 4b is sculpturing which falls under the realm of principles of  sculpture that govern western sculptural art. Although made in wood which is  traditionally used in the craft-making process of traditional African house-hold  craft object and divine figures, the process, technique and final product all  align it to be defined as pure art rather than ‘craft art.  

Elements of Art:  

Form: Composition is intertwined figures, flowing of form symbolising the  flood, Composition is triangular suggesting victims of flood  swimming upwards toward surface for air. The figures themselves  are a bit flattened to express the magnitude of the force they are  fighting. 
Texture: Texture is relatively smooth to create a feeling of wavy atmosphere  surrounding the victims. 
Space: There is in and outward flow of space between the clinging inclined  figure that create an illusion of a wild force of uncontrollable  turbulence  
Functionality: Decorative reminder of tragic event just as Picasso’s  “Guernica’’  
Mediums: Maroela wood. It was readily available just like the way marble  was readily available to the Greeks or limestone was readily  available to the Egyptians.  

Traditional use:  

Religious and Spiritual elements: Mabasa claims that she was told by an  ancestor spirit to leave clay as a medium and pursue wood carving instead. – transgressing the boundaries of gender in her culture. From her dreams,  Noria draws her power to create. From here she gets the physical strength  that has allowed her to produce art for the past 25 years. 
Titles: The Flood – reflecting on a devastating event that seemed to have  been orchestrated by forces beyond nature. 
Subject matter: Inspired by Television coverage of a flood in KZN which  devastated parts of South Africa. The flood shows people and  animals swirling around and reaching up, trying to escape  flood waters. The people cling wildly to each other as they  struggle to stay alive. A big battle between human beings and  nature seems to be taking place. 

Accept any other logical and substantiated discussion and evaluation.

FIGURE 5a (may use FIGURE 5b for reference only) 
Kendall Geers The Terrorist’s Apprentice, 2002. Matchstick/found objects. The work consists of one matchstick displayed in a space on its own. Geers refers  to a statement made by Winnie Mandela, Nelson Mandela’s ex-wife, in which she  said: “We don’t have guns – we have rocks, boxes of matches and our  “necklaces” with which we will free this country.” The statement is ironic as it  displays a safety match which can cause endless destruction. The idea behind  the work is more important than the object itself as the artwork is conceptual. (4) 

5.2 Also with reference to the above statement analyse and discuss  
FIGURE 5b in essay format (at least ½ page). Consider the following: 

• Application of art elements and principles 
• Mediums relevant to the concept 
• Meaning or message 

FIGURE 5c – Willem Boshoff. Blind Alphabet, 1990. Wood, steel, aluminium. 

The artist set himself a task as he felt discriminated against because of his  Afrikaans accent. Whilst teaching at an English school he composed a list of  confusing English words. He used these words in conversations with native  English speakers, to confuse them and expose their ignorance with regards  to their own language. Thus he began to compile a dictionary of difficult  words. Boshoff’s intention with creating Blind Alphabet was to create an  experience for blind individuals wherein they could touch and thereby ‘see’  the artwork and learn something from it. Hereby putting the blind in the  privileged position of having the power in relationship to the work. Whereas  individuals with the ability to see were disadvantaged and left ‘illiterate”. The  blind Alphabet ABC consists of 338 wooden statues placed in steel cases.  The lid of each case has an aluminium plaque embossed with text in Braille.  Braille is text which is read through the sense of touch, used specifically by  the blind and sight impaired. The text consists of difficult English words, their  meaning and origin. The statues inside represent the word on the plaque. 
Accept any other interpretation as long as it substantiates a logical interpretation  referenced from the work. (6)

5.3 In essay form of at least one page, the learner must recall and analyse at  least one work in multimedia which has been studied, substantiating each of  the following: 

• Name the work/s as well as the artist  
• Media 
• Messages and/or meanings 
• Influenced by which style of art 
•  Presentation 

A work which appears in this question paper, may not be used, but a  different work by one of the artists used in this paper is allowable. (10) [20] 

QUESTION 6 
POST-1994 – DEMOCRATIC IDENTITIY IN SOUTH AFRICA 

 6.1 In an essay of about ¾ page, the learner must discuss how the individual  artists of the visual sources of FIGURES 6a and 6b relate to expression of  identity, referring to the following: 

• Formal art elements 
• Style and technique 
• The comments these artists make 
• Which one makes the strongest impact, with reasons for his/her  choice 

In FIGURE 6a: 

Formal art elements: Conceptual photography, Technique is less  important than content and message 
Style and technique: They use colour photographs as a medium to  express their ideas, In Islam it is forbidden to depict the human form, and  therefore the artists are also the subjects in their work. 
The comments these artists make: The artists question their heritage  as Muslim, Indian and South African. Searching for their place in a  multicultural and multi-religious society. The Five Pillars depict the Five  Pillars of Islam (Faith, prayer, fasting, charity, and pilgrimage). It seems  that there is a bomber in the middle of the scene. He seems to be  preparing for a deadly mission. This comments on the general Western  view of Muslim people.  
Which one makes the strongest impact, with reasons for his/her  choice. (8)

In FIGURE 6b: Wim Botha. Mieliepap Pïeta, 2004, mieliepap, resin. 

Formal art elements: Mirror representation of the Pïeta by  Michelangelo. Dimensions correlate. 
Style and technique: A classical naturalistic approach reminiscent of white  marble used in the original Pieta is employed in this work. Maize-meal and  resin is used to make the sculpture. Like the way flour is used to make  unleavened bread. Maize- meal as part of African staple food is used to  reiterate on the idea from an African context. 
The comments these artists make: Botha’s Pïeta is about heartache  and loss, communicating human tragedy. The youthful  Madonna in contrast to the lifeless body of Christ draped  across her. Her eyes fixed on his wounds. Mieliemeel is a  staple food for South Africa’s lower economic classes. Botha  links the idea of staple food to faith. She becomes an African  Madonna.
 Which one makes the strongest impact, with reasons for his/her  choice 
The learner must substantiate his/her choice for the highest impact of the two  works. 

6.2 In an essay of at least 1½ pages, the learner must discuss the work of any  TWO South African artists which have been studied, who question and reflect  on their post 1994 identity. Specific works, which do not appear in this paper,  must be referred to in the answer. Note that “specific” indicates that works  and artists must clearly be named. (12)

QUESTION 7 
GENDER ISSUES – MASCULINITY AND FEMININITY 

7.1 With reference to the above statement and referring to FIGURE 7a and  FIGURE 7b learners must explain how the female form was used by  contemporary female artists in each artwork. Discuss in essay format with a  substantial paragraph of approximately ¾ page, considering the following: 

• Use of title
• Composition
• Style
• Formal elements of art
• How gender is questioned/affirmed 

FIGURE 7a: Jenny Saville, Propped, 1992, oil on canvas. 

Use of title: The title Propped literally refers to the figure propped on  the chair, the chair holds the figure up, supports it, even though it is  massive, fleshy and grotesque 
Composition: Centre of canvas – focal point. The composition focuses  on and emphasises the body and draws the viewer in with  an exciting shortened frontal view of the female form. She  depicts a small head and feet with overlarge thighs that  remain disturbing to the viewer raising issues of beauty  and seduction when it comes to feminine obesity. 
Style: Figure painter, paintings based on herself. The application of  paint recalls pain and bruises on an almost geographical  portrayal of flesh. 
Formal elements of art:: 
Line and Colour: There is a clear hard edged out-line to distinguish the  massively obese propped Woman nude against the blue wall with  partially erased inscriptions.  
Form. Although directly facing the viewer, the tonal contrasts in the  browns coupled with rendering of light on the features enhances the  three dimensionality of the form to accentuate the figure’s obesity. 
How gender is questioned/affirmed: Her work defies conventional  female beauty where thin is synonymous with beautiful. The poses are  often coquettish and seductive which makes them even more  interesting. The beauty in the piece is found in its expressive nature,  creating a Venus of Willendorf/Mother Earth feel. (8)

FIGURE 7b: Mary Sibande. Red Dogs, 2015, Installation. 

Use of title: Five red dogs are in the foreground of the installation. The  female figure looks to be setting them on someone/thing outside the  frame or chasing them away like a person would chase away street  scavenger dogs encroaching on his/her privacy. 
Composition: Triangular composition. Female figure is in the middle – focal point – arm stretching forward, drawing the viewer in. Five dogs  are on the attack of someone/thing outside the frame and seem to be  running forward. It could mean she is scurrying them off to attack an  unwanted intruder or caught them encroaching on her space and is  chasing them off. 
Style: The theatrical quality of her work places it in the realm of fantasy.  Her work critiques stereotypical depictions of women, particularly black  women in our society. Her interest in fashion and clothing has been  channelled in her art to comment about different women’s status in  society. In  

Formal elements of art: 
Form and Colour. The female figure used in the installation is a cast of  the artist’s own body in fibreglass and silicone, like a mannequin.  
Figure is purple, dogs are red (title) contrast of black and white in the  background. The fact that Mary cast a forms representing a dangerous  breed of dogs (Rot Wailers) and in Red emphasises their  dangerousness and expression their viciousness. 
How gender is questioned/affirmed: The artwork is not meant to create a  feeling of anger, shame and humiliation but to transcend this reality where  the an expecting mother (as represented in the arm protectively holding on  to the lower part of her slightly extended tummy) is able to have full control  of command on the blood thirsty (Red) scoundrels which by their numbers  and appearance seem vicious and deadly to be surrounded with. Behind her  denigration lies the power to control what men would fear. 
7.2 In approximately 1½ pages, an essay must be written of any TWO artists  which have been studied, in whose works male and/or female identity is  addressed. The works must be named, described and compared. The essay must be ended with a conclusion regarding the impact of each. (12)

QUESTION 8
ARCHITECTURE IN SOUTH AFRICA 

8.1 Considering the above-mentioned, study the images of the innovative  structures each relevant in their own time FIGURE 8a and FIGURE 8b.  Write an essay of one page, in which you elevate the innovative  accomplishments. You may include thoughts on the following: 

• Principles of design applied 
•  Influences and creative thought 
•  Peculiar characteristics 
• Aims and effective functionality 

FIGURE 8a – KIKS Building in Cape Town, South Africa 

Big glass structures are placed in open modular steel structures. This  creates a High Tech look and feel. This building has a three-story circulation  “spine”. On the beachfront side heavy winds and high levels of noise had to  be taken into account. Wind and Thermal studies concluded that hanging  sunscreens and potplants were necessary to accommodate weather  conditions and also create an element of eco-friendliness. 

FIGURE 8b – House Rhino, 2011. Crossways, Eastern Cape, South Africa.

A pioneering green house, the first of its kind on the African continent.  Recycled materials have been used extensively, including the decking – a  natural rock feature and rock garden.  
Due to its insulation properties there is a reduced need for heating and  cooling in the house.  
Hydromedic – all rainwater drains immediately and is collected underneath  the house where it flows into the water recycling process.  
The house is powered by roof-mounted solar photovoltaic panels. (8) 

8.2 In an essay of approximately 1½ pages TWO buildings by any popular,  contemporary South African architect/s must be clearly analysed. The  shapes, materials and design which place them in a category of outstanding  impact, must be discussed.  
The following aspects may well be relevant: 

•  Names of architects/companies and buildings 
• Special features 
• Peculiar materials, technology and design 
•  Ecological considerations 
•  Environmental issues 
•  Functionality (12)
