Students, meet our marking process
Art is only worth what people are willing to pay for it. Do you agree?
An example of our marking feedback
Our quick note on this essay question: the key tension here is between the market value of art and its intrinsic value. Most student will spend too much time proving that art has social/emotional value (which is pretty easy to do) and not enough time proving with why the market persists as the dominant measure.
A strong essay will also interrogate the word "people". Remember, a billionaire at a Sotheby's auction and a teenager in an impoverished community are both "people willing to pay" something, just to very different extents!
However, price tags rarely (if ever) take into account the social value of the artwork⁽¹⁾. Because such influences are intangible and wide-ranging, it is almost impossible to quantify, let alone be reflected in its price. Consider Amanda Gorman, the youth poet who bewitched crowds at Biden’s inauguration, then the Super Bowl. Her spoken word poetry was broadcasted⁽²⁾ live and funnelled into the screens of millions for free, yet the anger and disappointment, and even hope, evinced a kind of spark in her listeners. This spark⁽³⁾ is evident as well in Langston’s Mississippi 1995, a tribute to Emmett Till, a reflection of the German Coast uprising. This spark can also be found in the Shattered Glass exhibition in Deitch Gallery, Los Angeles, that featured only artists of colour — the spark that gives a voice to the underrepresented who have been marginalised following decades of slavery, racism, and police brutality. For the Black community, they have long had to perceive their own narrative through a predominantly white lens. Art is a way for them to reclaim autonomy and overturn the history which dictated that blackness must be suffocated by the imperialism of whiteness⁽⁴⁾. For the new generation of filmmakers in South Africa, art in film is another way to widen the aperture on a continent that the rest of the world have dismissed as ravaged by apartheid. The upcoming Netflix film, Blood and Water, is no longer about cliched slums and poverty, but high-powered Black women navigating money, politics, and power in Cape Town. Nollywood (Nigeria’s nod to Hollywood) is still a very new industry worth a fraction of L.A.’s Hollywood⁽⁵⁾, but the gains it will make in terms of redefining a whole country and changing the way people perceive its citizens may be priceless. The overwhelming worth of Art is made all the more evident when we realise that the societies more opposed to the other (the Soviet Union, China under Mao Ze Dong, Pol Pot’s Khmer Rouge)⁽⁶⁾produced almost no cultural artefacts worth anything⁽⁷⁾. The change Art evokes varies too greatly between people and communities, but it is undeniably present and cannot be quantified in monetary terms alone⁽⁸⁾.
An example of our marking feedback
Very strong topic sentence, but the term "social value" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here if you don't define it early in your paragraph. Are you talking about cultural representation? Emotional impact? Political change?
"Very minor issue, but the more widely accepted past tense of 'broadcast' is simply 'broadcast' rather than 'broadcasted'."
"Evinced a kind of spark" is vague. You should explain what the spark is. The word "spark" appears three more times in your paragraph after this, so you should at least define it once, concretely, early on.
Excellent, well-written and fully relevant sentence!
Consistent link back to the monetary value of art and artistic industries that addresses the question “what people are willing to pay for it”.
This is an extremely interesting point that is unfortunately buried at the end of a paragraph that’s already ambitious enough. This argument could be its own paragraph entirely, or cut from this.
Your sentence clause "the societies more opposed to the other" is grammatically unclear — opposed to what? Please also note that your phrase "worth anything" is a touch too casual for GP register; "of enduring cultural value" lands better.
Final link to the essay question is consistent and relevant.
An example of our marking feedback
This was a pleasure to read! You have commendable range of examples and your writing is confident and bold. The main thing to carry into your next draft is to slow down and stay with 2-3 examples longer, rather than moving through examples so quickly; your analysis is strong enough to hold the reader's attention, so trust it.
For further reading, you might find Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates and Ways of Seeing by John Berger interesting and directly relevant to your argument here. Keep up the good work!

“Classicle Club motivated me to transcend my limits as a writer. Every lesson, I would discover new ideas about the world, from corporate greed to exploitation, corruption to predatory capitalism. While many of these concepts are often difficult to comprehend, they’re one of the main reasons why GP persists as an A-level subject: to train us to be more thoughtful and informed.
Classes with Classicle go far beyond studying for a subject. It involves understanding the international & domestic political landscape. That's a more pressing reality than trying to score well.
With time, I also begun to understand the mark structure for SAQs (in Paper 2). I can promise that with practice you'll get a lot better. All the best!”

My command of the English language was subpar before I joined these tuition classes… I received consistent Ds and Es for GP throughout my 2 years in JC.
But I am so glad to have joined! The classes have made GP so much more interesting… the notes include plentiful vocabulary to adopt as well as examples and knowledge about global or local happenings. I didn’t join this tuition very early on (in fact, just a few months before A levels). However, I’ve already seen a tremendous improvement in the way I craft paragraphs.
