1. Visual analysis

Build secure A-Level understanding of visual analysis in History of art.

A common misconception is treating visual analysis in History of art as a memorised label instead of a usable idea with evidence.

Validation: Generated starter-map content for MVP breadth. It is structurally complete but still requires subject-expert review before production claims.

Starter concept map Pending expert review Prerequisite: Core vocabulary for visual analysis Extension: Extend toward materials and techniques once visual analysis is transferable.

Stage progression

Repair foundation: First-stage foundation - Use concrete observation, talk and play evidence before formalising visual analysis.

Later outcome: Advanced independent use - Stretch visual analysis into independent, synoptic or real-world History of art work.

Representative problem: Use visual analysis in an extended History of art response that includes justification and evaluation.

Mastery signal: Explains visual analysis in their own words
