a Venn diagram to determine common concepts; explain terms such as line, point of view, time, balance, interactivity, and variety with reference to specific arts disciplines)
C1.3 analyse similarities and differences in approaches to the creative process in various arts disciplines (e.g., how a musician, a choreographer, and a sculptor might approach the planning/ incubation stage; how a visual artist and a musician
might experiment with the elements of their art; how a dramatist and a media artist might present their work; how the revision process differs across the various arts disciplines)
